Preparation
Notes:
Recharge the battery pack anytime LOW BATTERY
appears, or if the keypad beeps while you are on the
phone.
When you first use the phone after charging or recharging
the battery pack, the phone might not work. Return the key-
pad to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security
access-protection code. The keypad blinks once.
About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by
keeping the phone off the base until LOW BATTERY
appears, or if the keypad beeps while you are on the
phone. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
If the STATUS/MESSAGE indicator does not light when
you place the keypad on the base, be sure the battery pack
and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.
Also, check the charging contacts on the keypad and base.
If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pen-
cil eraser.
If the battery pack becomes completely discharged or the
base loses power while the keypad is away from it, place
the keypad on the base for about 5 seconds to reset the
security access protection code. The keypad blinks once. If
the keypad loses power, leave it on the base to charge the
battery pack.
If you are not going to use your phone for an extended
period of time, disconnect its battery pack. This helps
increase the battery pack’s usable life.
