• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month
to make sure they are not dirty or
tarnished.
About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the base until the
BATT LOW indicator lights. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its
ability to fully recharge.
If the BATT LOW indicator does
not light, but the phone does not
work, recharge the battery pack.
(The battery charge might be too
low to light the indicator.)
If the battery pack gets weak dur-
ing a call, a beep sounds about
every 30 seconds, and the BATT
LOW indicator flashes. If this hap-
pens, you cannot make another
call using the handset until you
recharge the battery pack.
If the battery pack loses its charge
completely, the handset loses the
security access-protection code it
uses to communicate with the
base. To reset the security code
and recharge the battery pack,
place the handset on the base.
The supplied battery pack should
last about a year. When the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge, order a replacement
battery pack (see “Replacing the
Battery Pack” on Page 31).
