Radio Shack TAD-1016 Telephone User Manual

About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the base until the
BATT LOW indicator flashes. Oth-
erwise, the battery loses its ability
to fully recharge.
If the BATT LOW indicator does
not light, but the phone does not
work, recharge the battery. (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 about every
3 seconds. If this happens, you
cannot make another call using
the handset until you recharge the
battery.
If the battery loses its charge com-
pletely, the TAD-1016 loses the
security access-protection code.
Place the handset on the base
and charge the battery; this also
resets the code.
• The supplied battery should last
about a year. When the battery
loses its ability to fully recharge,
order a replacement battery (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 34).
