Charging the Battery Pack
Initial Battery Charging The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack must be fully charged before using your phone for the first time. We recommend that the battery pack charge for approximately 15-20 hours, without interruption, before plugging the phone line into your new phone. 1. Place the Handset on the Base Unit. 2. Make sure the status LED lights. If the LED doesnt light, check to see that the AC Adapter is plugged in, and that the Handset is making good contact with the Base Unit charging contacts.
Continuous Battery Charging For the best battery performance, return the Handset to the Base Unit at the end of the day. This keeps the battery fully charged and avoids the battery memory effect.
or Hang the handset on the cradle when the phone is mounted on a wall.
Make sure to change the Handset Retainer before hanging up the phone.

Low Battery Indicator

When the Battery Pack in the Handset is very low and needs to be charged, the talk/batt low LED flashes. If the talk/batt low LED begins to flash, the phone is programmed to limit its functions to save power. The table below describes what to do to return your phone to normal operation.

talk talk/batt

2 abc 5
rdl/flash ringer/p volume channel
DURING A CALL Only the t button operates. The Handset beeps and the talk/batt low LED flashes once every 3 seconds. Complete your call as quickly as possible. Return the Handset to the Base Unit for charging.
IN STANDBY MODE None of the buttons will operate. The Handset talk/batt low LED flashes once every 3 seconds. You will not be able to make a call. Return the Handset to the Base Unit for charging.
Allow 15 to 20 hours without any interruption for the Handset to fully recharge.

Battery Memory Effect

Rechargeable batteries can develop a memory effect (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter every time you use the unit. To Avoid Memory Effect At least once a month, operate the unit until the Battery Low indicator appears. Avoid topping off the charge after using the phone for a short time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.

Setting the Pulse/Tone Switch
Be sure the PULSE/TONE switch is in the TONE position.
