When this happens, you cannot make a
call until you recharge the battery
pack.
• 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
charger until
the display. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
• Using a damp cloth, clean the charging
contacts on the handset and charger
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 socket in the battery compartment.
You can order a replacement battery
