CONNECTING, CHARGING,
AND REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
The answering system comes with a re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack in-
stalled in the handset, but not connected.
Before using your system, you must connect
the battery pack, then charge it for about 24
hours.
1. Press down then slide off the battery
compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment and plug its connector into the
socket in the compartment. The connec-
tor fits only one way.
3. Put the battery pack in the compartment,
then replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, simply place the
handset on the base, facing either up or
down. The base’s CHARGE/IN USE indica-
tor lights.
Recharge the battery pack when

flashes on the handset’s display.
Important:
Be sure the battery pack is prop-
erly connected before you try to charge it.
The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights when
the handset is on the base even if the battery
pack is not properly connected.
Notes:
• When you first use the system after
charging or recharging the battery pack,
the phone might not work and you might
hear a five-beep error signal. If this hap-
pens, return the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds. This resets the secu-
rity access-protection code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and the
base about once a month.
• If the handset’s display is blank and the
phone does not work, recharge the bat-
tery pack. (The battery power might be
too low to light the display.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds and

flashes. When this
happens, you cannot make another call
on the phone until you recharge the bat-
tery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery pack by keeping the handset off
the base until

flashes. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged or the base loses power while
the handset is away from it, place the
handset on the base to reset the secu-
rity access-protection code. If the hand-
set loses power, recharge the battery
pack.
The supplied battery pack should last about
one year. If the battery pack does not hold a
charge for more than 2 hours after an over-
night charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt,
600 mAh battery pack with a connector that
fits the socket in the battery compartment.
You can order a replacement battery pack
through your local RadioShack store.
Note:
To avoid losing memory numbers, in-
stall and begin charging the new battery
pack within 2 minutes.
Warning:
Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it
(see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 5
for additional information on proper battery
handling).
If you have trouble replacing the battery, take
the answering system to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
