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.  
To reset the security code, see page 46.

Battery use time (per charge)  
From fully charged  
• Seven hours coutinuous use.  
• Seven days when the handset is in the standby mode.  
When the battery charge becomes low  
When the voltage of battery pack is very low and  
needs to be charged, the phone eliminates functions  
to save power. If the phone is not in use,  
Low Battery  
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 charging the battery.  
• 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.  
• Rechargeable batteries have a memory effect that reduces standby and talk time. To  
avoid this memory effect, on a monthly basis, use the phone until the  
Low Battery”  
indication appears. Then charge the battery for 12-15 hours.  
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 pencil eraser or other contact cleaner.  
Do not use any liquids or solvents.

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall.  
Before doing this, consider the following:

That could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.  
Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone jack to avoid  
excessive cord lengths.  
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and  
handset.
