contacts on the handset  
and base about once a  
month. Use a dry cloth  
or pencil eraser if necessary.  
Do not use any liquids  
or solvents.  
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 approximately 15-20 hours  
without interruption.

Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the  
Base Unit antenna to the 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.  
MLow Battery Indicator  
When the battery pack in the  
handset is low and needs to be  
charged, the batt LED flashes  
every 3 seconds.  
Setting the Dial Mode
