About the digital security code
This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent unauthorized access
to your base unit. This security code prevents other cordless handsets from making
calls through your base unit.
A random security code will be assigned automatically between your base unit and
handset when you charge the battery pack for the first time.
If you want to reset the security code, see page 44.

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack
Battery use tim e (per charge)
From fully charged
• 7 hours continuous use
• 10 days when the handset is in the standby mode
When the battery charge becom es low
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be
charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate
functions in order to save power. If the phone is not
in use, “Low Battery” flashes and none of the
keys will operate. If the phone is in use, “Low Battery” flashes and the handset
beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to
the base unit for charging.
Notes
• Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long
period. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after
a telephone call for battery charging.
• The built-in memory backup can hold numbers and names stored in the memory for
up to 2 minutes, while you replace the battery pack.
• If you must replace the battery pack during a telephone call, complete the
replacement of the battery pack within 30 seconds, and you can return to the
original call.
Cleaning the battery contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all battery contacts on the handset
and base unit about once a month. Use a dry cloth or pencil eraser, if necessary.
Do not use any liquids or solvents.
