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 Batteryflashes and none of the  
keys will operate. If the phone is in use, Low Batteryflashes 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.
