Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the
phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save
power. “BATT” appears on the display and you will hear a beep.
If the phone is in use, “
BATT”
appears on the display and the
handset beeps twice. Complete your
conversation as quickly as possible
and return the handset to the base
unit for charging.
When the call is terminated due to a low battery,
the call will be placed on hold and can be
retrieved from any of the other handsets.
Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is
important to clean the battery
contacts on the handset and base
unit with a dry cloth or a pencil
eraser about once a month.
Do not use any liquids or solvents.
