Handset Battery Charging
The battery pack in the handset must be fully charged for about 10 hours before using
the telephone.
After connecting to AC power, leave the handset unused in the cradle for ten to
fourteen hours. Later, it will take less time for the battery to recharge. The IN USE/
CHARGE LED on the base will be lit when the handset is in the cradle.
NOTE:
a. When the battery gets low, the LCD will show “BATTERY LOW” indicator, and the
unit will beep every 15 seconds.
b. If the battery becomes low while you are on a call, you will be disconnected after
about 3 minutes. Terminate the call quickly, and put the handset in the base to
recharge the battery.
The battery will hold its charge for several days out of the cradle, depending on use.
To Replace Batteries
1. Remove battery cover.
2. Remove battery.
3. Plug the cord of the battery pack into the handset and place the battery in the
case.
4. Slide battery cover until it clicks in place. Charge 10 hours before first use.
To maximize your battery’s life, we recommend that you periodically fully discharge the
battery, and then recharge it. To do this, unplug your phone line cord from the wall
phone jack. Press the TALK button, and allow the handset to remain on for 10 hours.
Reconnect the phone cord to the wall phone jack. Return the handset to the base and
allow it to fully charge for 10 hours. If this process is completed monthly, it will reduce
the memory buildup that occurs from frequent partial charging.

TELEPHONE OPERATION
Digital Security System
Your GH5810 Cordless Telephone is
equipped with a digital security coding
system to protect your base unit from being accessed by other cordless telephone.
The code allows your base and handset
to recognize each other so that other
cordless phones will not make calls on
your line.
If the AC adaptor is disconnected or a loss
of power occurs while the handset is
away from the base unit, the security code
will be lost and the phone will be inoperable. If this occurs, reconnect the AC adaptor and return the handset to the base unit
so that the security code is reset.When
the handset is not in the base, only a handset having the identical security code and
operating on the same channel can access the base and use your phone line.
When the handset is in the base, no other
handset, even those having the identical
security code and operating on the same
channel can access the base and use
your phone line.
Digital security coding will also eliminate
the “false” ringing associated with cordless telephones not equipped with this
feature.

the handset back into the base for a few
seconds to reset the security code and
then make the call again.
