• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps ev-
ery 30 seconds, and
RECHARGE
NOW
and flash on the display. If
this happens, you must recharge the
battery pack before you can make
another call.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery by keeping the handset
off the base until
RECHARGE
NOW
and flash on the display. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its abili-
ty to fully recharge.
• 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 26).
