GETTING STARTED 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. If the phone is not in use, ¨Low Battery¨ appears on the LCD 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. The last number dialed in the redial memory, the names and the numbers stored in the memory locations or CID list are retained for up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery pack. Cleaning the charging contacts To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on both the handset and base unit once a month. Using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the base to charge. Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish. • Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after a telephone call. • Talk Mode The handset is off the base and talk/flash has been pressed, enabling a dial tone. • Standby Mode The handset is not in use. The handset may be on or off the base, but talk/flash key has not been pressed. www.uniden.com G E T T I N G S T A R T E D [ 11 ]
