Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone,
there are some important guidelines you should
consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack
and continuous power outlet.
A continuous power outlet is an AC
outlet which does not have a switch
to interrupt its power.
• Keep the Base Unit and
Handset away from sources of
electrical noise such as: motors
or fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space
to rotate the Base Unit antenna
to a fully vertical position.
Important: Do not place the power
cord in an area where it may create a
trip hazard or become chafed and
create a fire or electrical hazard.
Setting the Dialing Mode Switch
Place the switch in the
TONE position for tone
dialing, or the PULSE
position for pulse dialing.

Charging the Battery Pack
The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack
must be fully charged before using your phone for
the first time. Before plugging the phone line into
your new phone, you must charge the battery
for at least 15 hours without interruption.
1 Remove the handset battery cover.
2 Plug the battery’s
cable into the
handset and place
the battery pack
inside the battery
compartment.
The connectors will fit together only one
way. Make sure the battery’s connector
is properly aligned. Use only the SANYO
battery pack (3KR-600AAL or GESPCF01).
3 Replace the battery cover.
▼ Charging the Handset
Place the handset on the
base to charge. (The
handset can charge in
either the face-up or facedown position.)
▼ Low Battery Indicator
When the battery pack in the
handset is low and needs to be
charged, the TALK/BATT LOW
LED flashes every 3 seconds.
If this occurs while you are on
the phone, you will hear an alert
tone. Complete your call as
quickly as possible and return
the handset to the base for charging.
▼ Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean
all battery contacts on
the handset and base
about once a month.
Use a dry cloth or other
contact cleaner.
Do not use any liquids
or solvents.
Rechargeable batteries have a memory
effect that reduces standby and talk
time. To avoid this memory effect, on a
monthly basis use the phone until the
low battery indicator appears. Then
charge the battery for 15 hours.
Repeated short chargings may cause
memory effect in the handset battery. It
is recommended not to replace the
handset to the base after each call.
