To charge the battery pack, place the
handset either faceup or facedown on
the base. The IN USE/CHARGE indica-
tor on the base lights.
Recharge the battery pack when the
TALK/LOW BATT indicator on the hand-
set flashes.
Important:
Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The IN USE/CHARGE indica-
tor lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not con-
nected.
Notes:
When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear three beeps when
you press
TALK
. If this happens,
return the handset to the base for
about 2 seconds. This resets the
security access-protection code.
If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged, the handset might lose its
security access-protection code. To
reset the code, return the handset to
the base for about 2 seconds.
Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 16 seconds and the TALK/
LOW BATT indicator flashes. When
this happens, you cannot make
another call on the phone until you
recharge the battery pack.
About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until the TALK/
LOW BATT indicator flashes. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its abil-
ity to recharge.
If the TALK/LOW BATT indicator
does not light and the phone does
not work, recharge the battery pack.
(The battery charge might be too
low to light the indicator.)
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
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 33).
