To charge the battery, place the hand-
set on the base in either of two ways:
Upright
Face Down
The CHARGE indicator lights.
Recharge the battery when the TALK/
BATT LOW indicator flashes.
Notes:
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you place the handset
on the base, be sure the battery
and AC adapter are correctly and
securely connected. Also, check
the charging contacts on the
handset and the base. If the con-
tacts are dirty or tarnished, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery,
the phone might not work and you
might hear an error tone. If this
happens, return the handset to
the base for 5 seconds.
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the base until the
TALK/BATT LOW indicator lights.
Otherwise, the battery loses its
ability to fully recharge.
• If the TALK/BATT LOW indicator
does not light, but the phone does
not work, recharge the battery.
