Preparation
To charge the battery pack, place the handset in the
charging cradle. The CHARGE indicator lights.
Notes:
• The CHARGE indicator lights even if the battery
pack’s connector is not plugged into the
compartment. Be sure the battery pack is properly
connected before charging.
• Recharge the battery pack if

and the cordless handset beeps twice every 7
seconds while you are using the phone, or if

appears when the phone is not in use.
• If the handset does not work immediately after
charging or recharging the battery pack, reset the
cordless handset’s security access-protection code.
(See “Resetting the Security Access-Protection
Code” on Page 9.)
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack
by keeping the phone off the cradle until
BEM

appears. Otherwise, the battery pack loses
its ability to fully recharge.
• If the CHARGE indicator does not light when you
place the handset on the charging cradle, be sure
the AC/DC adapter is correctly and securely
connected.
• Check the charging contacts on the handset and
charging cradle. If the contacts are dirty or tarnished,
clean them with a pencil eraser.
• If you are not going to use your phone for a month or
longer, disconnect its battery pack. This helps
increase the battery pack’s life.
The supplied battery pack should last about a year. If the
battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2
hours after an overnight charge, replace it with a 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. Install the new battery pack, place the handset in
the charging cradle, and charge the battery for 12 hours
before using it.
Note:
To avoid losing numbers stored in memory, you
must install and begin charging the new battery pack
within 2 minutes of removing the old one.
Warning:
Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and
properly. Do not burn or bury it.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery pack of the
same size and type.
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire because
it might explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery pack.
• Be careful not to short the battery pack by touching
the connector’s pins with conducting materials, such
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery pack or
conductor might overheat and burn.
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the
phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
