CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK
The ET-685 comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack in the
handset but not connected. Before using
your phone, you must connect the bat-
tery pack, then charge it for about 24
hours.
1. Slide open the battery compartment
cover and lift the battery pack out of
the compartment.
2. Plug the battery pack’s connector
into the socket in the compartment.
The connector fits only one way.
3. Replace the battery pack and the
cover.
Recharge the battery pack when the
handset beeps every 3 seconds or
Low
Battery
flashes on the handset’s dis-
play.
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset either faceup or facedown on
the base. The CHARGE indicator on the
base lights.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE indicator lights
whenever the handset is on the base,
even if the battery pack is not connect-
ed.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear an error tone when
you press
LINE 1
or
LINE 2
. If this
happens, return the handset to the
base for about five seconds. This
resets the security access-protec-
tion code.
• If the battery pack gets weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3
seconds and
Low
Battery
flashes on the handset’s display.
When this happens, you cannot
make another call on the phone until
you recharge the battery pack.
