THE

ATTERY

ACK

The phone comes with a rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack in
the handset, but not connected. Before
using your phone, you must connect the

battery pack, then charge it for about 15–20
hours.

1. Press down and slide off the battery

compartment cover.

2. Lift the battery pack out of the

compartment.

3. Plug the battery pack’s connector into

the socket in the compartment (the
connector fits only one way), then place
the battery pack in the compartment.

4. Replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, place the
handset on the base. The

CHARGE

indicator

on the base lights.

Recharge the battery pack when

Low Battery

flashes on the display.

If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local
RadioShack for assistance.

Recharging the Battery Pack

• If the battery pack becomes weak

during a call,

Low Battery

flashes.

When this happens, you cannot make a
call until you recharge the battery
pack.

• If the display is blank and the phone

does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be too
low to light the display.)

• About once a month, fully discharge the

battery by keeping the handset off the
base until

Low Battery

flashes on

IMPORTANT

Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before
you try to charge it. The

CHARGE

indicator lights

when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery
pack is not connected.
