bBattery Notes:
• Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too low, the
handset shows a low battery alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call,
check the display: if you see the low battery alert, finish your conversation as
quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle. If the handset is in
standby, none of the keys will operate.
• With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace the battery
when the talk time becomes short even when the battery is charged. You can
order a replacement battery pack (Ni-MH DC 2.4V 500mAh) through your
local RadioShack store.
• Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on the handset about once
a month.
• If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period, disconnect
the battery pack. This increases the battery pack’s usable life.
w Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose
of used batteries according to the instructions.

Recycle rechargeable batteries
Placing rechargeable batteries in the trash can be harmful to the
environment. Instead, recycle old rechargeable batteries at your
local RadioShack store free of charge. RadioShack participates
in the RBRC©battery recycling program, and is committed to preserving
the environment and conserving natural resources. Call 1-800-THE-SHACK
(1-800-843-7422) for more information.
5Test the Cordless Handset Connection
1. Pick up the handset and press TALK ( )/FLASH. You should hear a dial tone,
and the display should say Talk.
2. Press END to hang up.
If you can’t get a dial tone or the handset display says Unavailable, try moving
the handset closer to the base or resetting it. (See “Resetting and Registering
Handsets” on page 42.)
Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Phones can communicate with the telephone network in two ways: tone (DTMF)
or pulse dialing. If you know your phone company uses pulse dialing or the test
call for line 1 did not work, follow these steps:
1. With the phone in standby, press
MENU
.
2. Use UP or DOWN to highlight Global Setup, and then press
OK
.
3. Your phone prompts you to select a line and Line 1 is highlighted. Press
OK
.
4. Use UP or DOWN to highlight Dial Mode, and then press
OK
.
5. Highlight
Pulse, and then press
OK
. The phone sounds a confirmation tone.
Try making another test call using line 1.
nNote: If your test call on line 2 did not connect, follow the same process, but
in step 3, press DOWN to highlight Line 2 and then press
OK
.
If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call (if you’re
using an automated response system, for example), press to temporarily
switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to
pulse dialing mode.
Using the Belt Clip
To attach the belt clip
Line up the holes on each side of the handset. Insert the belt clip into the holes
on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.
To remove the belt clip

Basic Operation
Entering Text on Your Phone
When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name in the
phonebook), use the twelve-key dial pad to enter the letters printed on the
number keys. Here’s how it works:
• The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key. For
example, if you press the number key 2once, the phone enters the letter A.
Press 2twice for B, and three times for C.
• If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the same letter
sequence with small letters. If you press 2four times in a row, the phone
enters a(small letter). Press 2five times for b, and six times for c.
• If you see the icon [Aa] in the display, the phone enters capital letters first (A
B C), then small letters (a b c), and then the number on the key (2). The icon
[aA] means the phone starts at the small letters, so it enters small letters first,
then the number on the key, and then capital letters.
• The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the first letter and any letter
right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.
• If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first letter, and then
use CALLER ID ( )/RIGHT to move the cursor to the next position to enter
the second letter.

Basic Operation
The Global Setup Menu
The settings on this menu are separate for each line: changing the settings for
line 1 will not affect line 2, and vice versa. However, the settings for each line
apply to all stations whenever they use that line.
Before changing these settings, make sure the phone is in standby and all
handsets are within range of the base. (Only one station at a time can change
these settings.)
When you select the Global Setup menu, the phone prompts you to select
Line 1 or Line 2. Then, you can choose one of the following options to change
the global settings for that line:
Menu option: Use it to:
Area Code Enter your area code so the phone hides the area code on incom-
ing local calls. (See “Using Seven-Digit Dialing” on page 25.)
Dial Mode Change the way your phone communicates with the telephone
network. (See ”Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing” on page 9.)
