GETTING STARTED
Battery use time (per charge)
From fully charged (15-20 hours charge time)
• Seven hours continuous use during talk mode.
• Seven days when the handset is in the standby mode.
Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the
phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save
power. If the phone is not in use, “
Low Battery” appears
on the LCD and none of the keys will operate.
If the phone is in use, “
Low Battery” flashes and the handset
beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and
return the handset to either charging cradle for charging.
Cleaning the charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the
charging contacts on both the handsets, base unit, and
charging cradle once a month. Use a dry cloth or pencil
eraser to clean. If the contacts became very dirty, using
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 handsets
to the base unit or charging cradle to charge.
The last number dialed in the redial memory and the numbers
stored in the memory locations are retained for up to 30 minutes
while you replace the battery pack.
• Even when the battery
pack is not being used,
it will gradually
discharge over a long
period of time. For
optimum performance,
be sure to return the
handset to the base unit
after a telephone call.
• Throughout this manual,
terms such as Standby
and Talk Mode are used.
Below is the terminology
explanation.

The handset is off
either charging cradle
and talk/flash has
been pressed enabling
a dial tone.
