The Basics
Notes on Recharging
•
If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, Low
Battery fl ashes. When this happens, you cannot
make a call until you recharge the battery pack.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before charging. The
CHARGE indicator lights when the handset
is on the base, even if the battery pack is not
connected.
•
If the display is blank and the phone does not work,
recharge the battery pack. (The battery power might
be too low to light the display.)
•
About once a month, fully discharge the battery by
keeping the handset off the base until Low Battery
fl ashes on the display. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
•
Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on
the handset about once a month.
•
If you are not going to use your phone for an
extended period, disconnect the battery pack. This
increases the battery pack's usable life.
•
The supplied battery pack should last for about
a year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge
for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge,
replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 800 mAh battery pack
with a connector that fi ts the socket in the battery
compartment.
You can order a replacement battery pack through
RadioShack. Install the new battery pack and charge
it for about 15–20 hours.
