IMpORTANT INfORMATION
Because the handset adapts to the base, the exact features and
operation of the handset will vary slightly depending on which base
you register the handset to. Refer to the user guide for the base you're
registering the handset to for feature descriptions.
All features and operation for the handset are described in the user's
guide for one of the bases listed under the Compatible Bases section.

Use only the supplied AC adapters.
Use the proper adapter for the base and any chargers.
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight or subject it to high
temperatures.
Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it
could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.
Fully charged, the battery should provide about 10 hours of talk time
and about 7 days of standby time. For best results, return the handset
to the cradle after each call to keep it fully charged.
Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too
low, the handset shows a low battery alert. If you hear a strange beep
during a call, check the display: if you see the low battery alert, finish
your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the
cradle. If the handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate.
With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace
the battery when the talk time becomes short even when the battery
is charged. To buy a replacement battery, call the Parts Department
listed on the front cover.
