PREPARATION
CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
The TAD-1017 comes with a re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery
pack installed in the handset but not
connected. Before using your phone,
you must connect the battery, then
charge it for about 18 hours.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to
remove the screw from the battery
compartment cover on the bottom
of the handset, then press down
and slide off the handset’s cover.
2. Plug the battery pack’s plastic
connector into the phone’s socket.
The connector fits only one way.
3. Replace the cover and tighten the
screw.
4. To charge the battery pack, simply
place the handset on the base.
The CHARGE indicator on the
base lights.
Recharge the battery pack 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
pack and AC adapter are correctly
and securely connected.
• If the battery pack gets weak dur-
ing a call, a beep sounds about
every 30 seconds, and the TALK/
BATT LOW indicator flashes. If
this happens, you cannot make
another call using the handset
until you recharge the battery
pack.
