BATTERIES
Charging the Handset Battery Pack
The batteries need charging when:
•The phone beeps four times when you press P.
•The LOW BATTERY light on the handset flashes
on and off.
•The phone does not respond when you press P,
and no lights go on.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light goes
on. The batteries will be fully charged in 10 hours. When
the LOW BATTERY light goes on, place the handset flat in
the base.
NOTE: The handset must lie flat in the base, with the keypad facing down, when charging.
A fully char ged battery , under normal use, maintains standby
power for up to 12 days when the Handset Ringer Control
switch is set to ON, and up to 20 days when the Handset
Ringer Control switch is set to OFF.
If it’s more convenient for you, you can leave the handset
in the base all the time. It is impossible to overcharge the
batteries.
If you get a low battery indicator even after 10 hours of
charging, the battery should be replaced.
Replacing the Handset Battery Pack
1Remove the battery case cover on the handset by
pressing on the indentation and sliding the cover
downward.
2Lift out the old battery pack and unplug it from
the handset.
3Hold the new battery pack and plug the connec-
tor into the handset. Place the battery pack into
the case, so the wires rest above the battery pack.
4Replace the cover by sliding it on its track up over
the battery case until it snaps firmly into place.
5Charge the new batteries 10 hours before using
the phone. Place the handset face down in the base
and allow it to charge for 10 hours. The telephone
might operate before that, but for best performance,
let the handset batteries charge fully.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to the telephone, read and follow these
instructions carefully.
•Use Replacement Battery 4051 in the handset.
•Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell might
explode.
•Do not open, puncture or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and might cause damage to the eyes or skin. It might be toxic if swallowed.

reset the security code, try the following:
•Place the handset in the base, and check to make sure
the CHARGING light is on. Wait 15 seconds, then
pick up the handset and press P. The phone should
operate properly . If it does not, try the next step.

P. The phone should operate properly .
No Dial Tone
Check all the previous suggestions. If you still do not hear a
dial tone, disconnect the phone and try another phone in the
same jack. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the
problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call
your local telephone service company.
Noise or Interference
•You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
•Press and release C to change to another of the 25
channels available. If the noise is exceptionally loud,
move closer to the base before changing channels.
•Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as
the base can sometimes cause interference. Try moving
the appliance or the base to another outlet.
•The layout of your home or office might be limiting the
operating range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.
Phone Does Not Ring
•Make sure the handset ringer switch is set to ON.

the base and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord
is plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

some of the other phones.
•Press C to change to another channel.
You Hear Other Calls
•Press C to change to another channel.
•Disconnect the base from the telephone jack and plug in
a corded telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your
local telephone service company.

good connection to the phone system. While it is searching, the PHONE light blinks rapidly. Do not start dialing until the PHONE light is on steadily.

INSTALLATION to set the dial mode.
•If you have TONE service and you hear strange clicks
while you are dialing, see Step 8 in INST ALLATION to
set the dial mode.
You Hear Noise in Handset and Buttons Don't Work
The base unit and handset might not be set to the same security code. Place the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds to reset the security code.

OPERATING RANGE
This cordless telephone operates at the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Even so, the handset and base can communicate over only a
certain distance —which can vary with the locations of the
base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your
home or office.
If the handset is moved to a point where the base and handset can no longer communicate, the handset will sound two
short beeps when you attempt to make a call, indicating that
you are out of range. Move closer to the base to restore normal operation.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not
connect when you press P. Move closer to the base, then
press P to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation,
you will hear noise or interference. To improve reception,
move closer to the base.
If you move out of range while on a call, the phone will be
left “off the hook.” T o hang up properly , walk back into range,
periodically pressing P until the PHONE light goes off.
Changing Channels
This cordless telephone has an advanced 25-channel
AutoSelect feature that minimizes the chance of
interference.
In the unlikely event that you notice noise or interference
while using the handset:
1Press C.
2If the interference does not clear, continue to press
C until you find a clear channel (your call will
not be interrupted)
—OR—
Move closer to the base and press C.
NOTE: You must be in range to change channels.
