Base Unit Battery Back-Up Feature
If AC power to the Base Unit fails, and the Spare Battery Charger contains a
battery, the Base Unit will keep operating from the spare battery. This feature
prevents the system from going dead during a power outage.
Low Battery Indicator
When the Battery Pack in the Handset is very low and needs to be charged, the
TALK
LED flashes every 3 seconds. If this occurs while you are on the phone, a
short alert beep will also sound. When this happens:
1. Complete your call as quickly as possible. Once the battery is low, you
will only be able to press the
TALK
button, returning the phone to
Standby.
2. Return the Handset to the Base Unit for charging. Allow 5 to 7 hours
without interruption for the Battery Pack to fully recharge. Or, replace the
Handset’s Battery Pack with a charged Battery Pack.
Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charge contacts on the
Handset and Base Unit about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other
contact cleaner. Do not use any liquids or solvents
