Low battery alert
When the batteries are very low and need to be charged, the phone is programmed to
eliminate functions in order to save power.
The battery pack needs to be charged when:
- The battery icon appears.
- "Low Battery" appears on the LCD, or
a beep tone sounds.
If the phone is in the standby mode, none of keys will operate. If you are making a call,
complete your conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the base.
Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to
clean the charging contacts on both the handset
and the base unit once a month. Use a dry
cloth or pencil eraser to clean. If the contacts
become very dirty, use water only, dampen a
cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make
sure to go back over the charging contacts with
a dry cloth before returning the handset to the
base to charge.
C. Connect the base unit
1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack
and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place
the handset in the base unit as shown.
