CONNECTING, CHARGING,
AND REPLACING THE

The phone comes with a rechargeable

the socket in the compartment, (the con-
nector fits only one way), replace the
battery pack, and replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the hand-
set either faceup or facedown on the base.
The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the base

Recharge the battery pack when

charging or recharging the battery pack,

hear a beep when you press
