GETTING STARTED

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.

A new battery must be fully charged 
before being used for the first time.

If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in
about a month. Store batteries uncharged in a cool, dark,
and dry place.

The battery pack is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts
inside. Do not attempt to open the case.

WARNING: Use only NEC approved batteries, antennas,
and chargers.  The use of any other types will invalidate
any approval or warranty applying to the telephone.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY

To Install the Battery:

1. Insert the bottom of the battery into
the base of the phone.

2. Fasten it to the phone by
pressing slightly downward on
the battery until the locking
catch snaps into place.

3. Make sure the battery is properly
installed.

To Remove the Battery:

Remember to switch the power off before removing
the battery.

1. Slide the locking latch located at the top of the battery
upward and gently pull the battery away from the phone.
