Battery Charge

A rechargeable Ni-Cd battery powers the handset. Charge the battery for about 6 hours before initial use (p. 11).

•Clean the handset and the base unit charge contacts with a soft, dry cloth once a month. Clean more often if the unit is subject to grease, dust or high humidity. Otherwise the

battery may not charge properly.

Base Unit Location/Noise

Calls are transmitted between the base unit and the handset using wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free

operation, the recommended base unit location is:

Note:

While using the handset:

•If you are near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard from the receiver. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.

•If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is near another cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.

Away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer, cellular phone, charging units or another cordless phone.

In a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

Raise the antennas.

The battery is beneath this cover.
