27Recharging the BATTERY PACKBattery TypeUse the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK 3.6V, 600mAh XACT CommunicationNi-MH Battery Pack: Model B655This BATTERY PACK is available through:XACT Communication Service Center105 Madison AvenueNew York, NY 100161-866-466-XACT (9228)Recharging the Battery PackThe nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) BATTERYPACK in the HANDSET can be recharged many times using the built-in charger in theBASE UNIT.When the BATTLOW symbol appears on the LCD Screen, a “beep”sound will be heard every 10 seconds. This indicates that theBATTERY PACK needs to be recharged.Charge the BATTERY PACK at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery failure. When the BATTERY PACK can nolonger be charged, replacement of the BATTERY PACK will be necessary.The BATTERY PACK used in your telephone may develop a condition known as “MEMORY”. Once subjected to a regular shortdischarging routine, the BATTERY PACK assumes the discharging pattern it was subjected to. This is known as a “MEMORY”condition which causes rapid discharging thereby shortening the BATTERY PACK charge span. If you believe your BATTERYPACK has developed a “MEMORY”condition, do not charge the HANDSET until the BATT LOW symbol appears on the LCDScreen. When the BATT LOW symbol appears on the LCD Screen, charge the HANDSET fully for 12 hours.NOTES: 1. During a power interruption, the BASE UNITdoes not operate, and a phone conversationcannot be made on the HANDSET.2. A beep will be heard when the HANDSET isproperly positioned in the BASE UNITCHARGE CRADLE and charging. Securelypositioning the HANDSET, KEYPAD face up, inthe BASE UNIT will also prevent the HANDSETfrom falling.IMPORTANTIn order to get maximum life from the HANDSET BATTERY PACK, be sure tocharge the HANDSET for 12 hours before initial use.

30Technical InformationTechnical InformationThis cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties in using radio frequencies with acordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could affect the operation of your system.NoiseElectrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intense during electrical storms. Certainkinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radiofrequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET. Generally they are a minorannoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your system.RangeBecause radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operating range. Try several locations in your homeor office and pick the one that gives you the clearest signal to the HANDSET.InterferenceElectronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephone line. These electronic circuits operate in theradio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods whenthese unwanted signals enter the BASE UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are not using theHANDSET. If the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by relocating the BASE UNIT. You can checkfor interference before selecting the final BASE UNIT location by plugging in the telephone.NOTICE:This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASE UNIT and may not ensure privacy ofcommunication. Other devices, including another cordless telephone, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephoneor cause noise during operation. Units not containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communication systems.Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.IMPORTANTWhen you hear interference, press the button to change the operatingchannel.
