Most phone systems use tone
dialing. Check with your
local phone company if
you’re not sure whether
your system is tone or pulse.
▼ Low battery indicator
The low battery indicator shows when the
battery pack is very low and needs to be charged.
If the phone is not in use, the talk/batt low
LED flashes every four seconds. If the phone is in
use, the
talk/batt low LED flashes every four
seconds and the handset beeps. Complete your
conversation as quickly as possible and return
the handset to the base for charging.
▼ To avoid Memory Effect
On a monthly basis, use the phone until the talk/batt low LED indicator
flashes on the handset. Then charge the battery for 15-20 hours.
With normal usage, your battery should last about one year.
To maintain a good charge, clean all charging contacts on the handset and base
about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. DO NOT use
liquids or solvents; you may damage your phone.
Be sure the
PULSE/TONE switch
is in the TONE position, unless your local
phone system uses pulse dialing.
SETTING THE PULSE/TONE SWITCH
CLEANING THE BATTERY CONTACTS
All rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries
develop a “memory effect”. The memory effect
gradually reduces your talk and standby time.
