4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset on the base either faceup or
facedown. The CHARGE indicator on
the base lights.
Recharge the battery pack when the
handset beeps every 3 seconds or its
line indicators flash every 3 seconds.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE indicator lights
when the handset is on the base, even if
the battery pack is not connected.
Notes:
When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, it might not work and you
might hear an error tone when you
press
LINE 1
or
LINE 2
. If this hap-
pens, return the handset to the base
for about 5 seconds. This resets the
security access-protection code.
If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps ev-
ery 3 seconds. If this happens, you
must recharge the battery pack be-
fore you can make another call.
Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
If the battery pack becomes com-
pletely discharged or the base loses
power while the handset is away,
the security access-protection code
needs to be reset. To reset the secu-
rity code, return the handset to the
base. If it was the handset that lost
power, leave the handset on the
base to charge the battery pack.
About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the hand-
set off the base until the low battery
indications (flashing line indicators
and beeping) appear. Otherwise, the
battery pack loses its ability to fully re-
charge.
The supplied battery pack should
last about one year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your
local RadioShack store (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 26).
