Charging the Handset Battery Pack
The batteries need charging when:
• The phone beeps four times when you press .
• The MUTE/LOW BATT light on the handset is on when the phone is off.
The MUTE/LOW BATT light on the handset flashes on and off when the
phone is on.
• The phone does not respond when you press and no lights go on.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light goes on. The batteries
will be fully charged in 10 hours. Once the batteries are fully charged, you
need only put the handset in the base when the LOW BATT light flashes.
If it is more convenient for you, you can leave the handset in the base all the
time. It is impossible to overcharge the batteries.
If you get a low-battery signal even after 10 hours of charging, the battery
should be replaced.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or
damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully.
• Use only Replacement Battery 4051.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell might explode.
• Do not open, puncture or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and might cause damage to the eyes or skin. It might be toxic if
swallowed.

indentation and sliding the cover downward.
2 Lift out the old battery pack and unplug it from the handset.
3 Hold the new battery pack and plug the cord into the handset. Place
the battery pack in the compartment so the cords rest on top of the
battery pack.
4 Replace the cover by sliding it on its track up over the battery
compartment until it snaps firmly in place.
5 The new batteries must be charged before using this telephone. Place
the handset in the base unit and allow it to charge for 10 hours. The
telephone may operate before that, but, for best performance, let the
batteries charge fully.
