electrical hazard.

none of the keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your
conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to
the cradle.

If the talk time becomes short even after the battery is recharged,
please replace the battery. You can purchase a replacement
battery by calling Uniden's Parts department. See inside the
back cover page for contact information.
