PREPARATION
CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK
The ET-927 comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack in the
handset, but not connected. Before us-
ing your phone, you must connect the
battery pack, then charge it for about 24
hours.
1. Slide off the handset’s battery com-
partment cover.
2. Insert the battery pack’s
connector with its flat
side up into the phone’s
socket. The connector
fits only one way.
3. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset on the base.
Recharge the battery pack when the
BATT LOW indicator on the handset
lights.
Notes:
• You can hang the handset face up
on the base if it is wall-mounted
(using the slot on the back of the
handset); however, the battery pack
will not fully charge in this position.
• When you first use your phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the handset might not work or
it might sound an error tone when
you press
TALK
. If this happens,
place the handset on the base for
about 5 seconds, then try again.
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you place the handset on
the cradle, be sure the battery pack
and AC adapter are correctly and
securely connected.
Also, check the charging contacts
on both the handset and base. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
If the battery and AC connections
are correct and secure and the
charging contacts are clean, the bat-
tery might be fully charged. This is
not a malfunction.
