NOTE:
The Extreme handset can be removed whilst powered, however
the handset will turn off automatically.
If it is removed during a call, the Extreme Handset will attempt to
remain in call as long as antenna is extended and in sky view. The call
may drop out during this transition, and the phone may turn off.
NOTE:
If the Extreme handset fails to connect with the cradle, the cradle
will power cycle the Extreme Handset twice when it is docked and
after that, it will power down the Extreme Handset and put it into
a one-minute Charge Only Mode with ALL SIX LEDs will flash
ORANGE slowly, but one column (2 LEDs) at a time.
After the one minute, the cradle will try again to connect with the
Extreme Handset. If it still fails, the cradle will follow the above
sequence however for a 10-minute duration of Charge Only Mode.
One common cause for connection failure is a flat Extreme battery
which prevents the Extreme Handset, from being turned on in the
cradle. The one-minute and ten-minute charge cycle will 'resurrect'
the battery and once the Extreme Handset is connected with the
cradle, charging will resume on the Extreme Handset.
If the Extreme handset is removed from the cradle during the
charging process, then reinserted, the startup process will restart
from the beginning.
Please be patient during this startup sequence. ALL SIX LEDs will
flash ORANGE slowly, but one column (2 LEDs) at a time - during
above charging process.
