Important information

Battery charge

Recharge is necessary when the BATT LOW/PROG indicator flashes or beep tone sounds every 15 seconds during a conversation.

—For maximum battery life, do not charge it after every telephone call. We recommend you charge it every few days. The battery works best if discharged enough before being recharged.

—Clean the charge contacts with a soft cloth once a month, or the battery may not charge properly.

Operating range and noise

Range of operation depends on the construction of your home, weather or usage conditions, because the cordless phone uses wireless radio waves.

For maximum range, it is best to place the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location of the house, with no obstructions. Extend the aerials during use for best reception.
