electrical outlet.

3. Ensure that the handset charging contacts at the bottom of 

the handset are making good contact with the base unit’s 
charging contacts.

CLEANING THE BATTERY CONTACTS

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging
contacts on the handset and base unit. Use a pencil eraser or
other contact cleaner.

Do not use any liquids or solvents.
