Connecting and Charging
the Battery Pack
The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel-
cadmium battery pack in the handset. Before
using your phone, you must connect the bat-
tery pack and then charge it for about 24
hours.
1. Press down and slide the battery com-
partment cover in the direction of the
arrow to remove it.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the
compartment. Plug the bat-
tery pack’s connector into the
socket in the compartment.
The connector fits only one
way.
3. Put the battery pack into the compart-
ment.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, simply place the
handset on the base. The CHARGE/IN USE
indicator on the base lights.
Recharge the battery pack when the handset
beeps and the TALK/BATT indicator flashes.
Notes:
• If the CHARGE/IN USE indicator does
not light when you place the handset on
the base, be sure the battery pack and
AC adapter are correctly and securely
connected. Also, check the charging con-
tacts on the handset and the base. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
• When you first use the phone after charg-
ing or recharging the battery pack, the
phone might not work and you might hear
an error tone. If this happens, return the
handset to the base for a few seconds.
