To charge the battery pack, place the
handset either faceup or facedown on
the base. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-
tor on the base lights and
Total:00
appears on the handset display.
Recharge the battery pack when
Low
Battery
flashes on the display.
Important:
Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-
tor lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not con-
nected.
Notes:
When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear an error tone when
you press
TALK
. Return the handset
to the base for about 5 seconds to
reset the security access-protection
code.
If the base loses power for about 30
minutes while the handset is away
from it, the security access-protec-
tion code might be lost. To reset the
code, return the handset to the base
for about 5 seconds.
The handset does not lose its secu-
rity access-protection code even if
the battery pack is completely dis-
charged.
Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and base about once a month.
If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps ev-
ery 3 seconds and
Low Battery
flashes. When this happens, you
cannot make a call until you re-
charge the battery pack.
About once a month, fully discharge
the battery by keeping the handset
off the base until
Low Battery
flashes on the display. Otherwise,
the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be
too low to light the display.)
If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery pack.
This increases the battery pack’s
usable life.
