Maintenance
Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in
order to save power. When LOW BATTERY appears in the handset display and the
phone is in standby, none of the keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your
conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the cradle.
The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears.
Cleaning the charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset
once a month. Dampen a cloth with plain water. Gently rub the damp cloth
over the charging contacts until all visible dirt is removed. Dry the contacts
thoroughly before returning the handset to the cradle.
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, alcohol, or other chemical products.
Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the nish.

contact Uniden’s Parts Department. The contact information is listed on the back cover pag

Do not remove the batteries from the handset to charge them.
Never throw the battery into a re, disassemble, or heat them.
