To charge the battery pack, simply place
the handset on the base, facing either
up or down. The CHARGE/IN USE indi-
cator on the base lights.
Recharge the battery pack when the
TALK/BATT indicator on the handset
flashes.
Notes:
When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear a five-beep error sig-
nal. If this happens, return the hand-
set to the base for about 5 seconds.
This resets the security access-
protection code.
If the CHARGE/IN USE indicator
does not light when you place the
handset on the base, be sure the
AC adapter is correctly and securely
connected.
Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and base. If the con-
tacts are dirty or tarnished, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
About once a month, fully discharge
the battery by keeping the handset
off the base until the TALK/BATT in-
dicator flashes. Otherwise, the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps ev-
ery 30 seconds and the TALK/BATT
indicator flashes every 3 seconds.
If this happens, you must recharge
the battery pack before you can
make another call.
If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
place the handset on the base to re-
set the security access-protection
code. If it was the handset that lost
power, recharge the battery pack.
The supplied battery pack should
last about a year. When it loses its
ability to fully recharge, order a re-
placement battery pack through
your local RadioShack store (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 30).

are not sure which type you have, after
you charge the handset battery pack, do
this simple test.
