Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and the base. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
If the battery pack gets completely
discharged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code
needs to be reset. To reset the secu-
rity code, place the handset on the
base. If it was the handset that lost
power, leave the handset on the
base to charge the battery pack.
If the battery pack gets weak during
a call, the handset sounds 4 beeps
every 30 seconds. If this happens,
you cannot make another call on the
phone until you recharge the battery
pack.
About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until ap-
pears. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
To avoid damage to the battery
pack, always recharge the handset
before battery power grows too
weak to light .
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.
The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your
local RadioShack store (see “Re-
placing the Battery Pack” on
Page 33).
