Charging of the Handset Battery Pack
The handset of your cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable battery
pack. It charges automatically whenever handset is in its charger.
You should charge the batteries for 10-12 hours when you first receive your
phone. You will know the battery pack needs charging when:
• The low battery message is displayed:
• The handset seems completely dead, the LCD is
completely clear and does not activate when you
press the keys.
Note: While in PLACE IN CHARGER (low battery)
mode, the keypad sounds, backlighting and speak-
erphone features will not work. When the battery has been charged, the features
will return to their normal function.
IMPORTANT:
1. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire, it might explode.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Toxic substances may be released,
causing harm to eyes or skin.
