Charging the Handset Battery Pack
This battery should remain charged up to four days with
the Ringer turned on and up to 17 days with the Ringer off.
A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of up
to three hours. Standby and talk times will vary, depending
on factors such as how far the handset is from the base, or
how much interference the phone encounters.
The battery pack needs charging when:
• A new battery is installed in the handset.
• The phone beeps when you do not press any key.
• The phone beeps four times when you press P.
• The phone does not respond when you press P.
Place the handset in the base either in the face-down or
face-up position so the CHARGING light turns on. The
battery pack is typically fully charged in four hours.
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the
handset to the base after each use.
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after
four hours of charging, the battery should be replaced.

Replacing the Handset Battery Pack
1 Remove the battery compartment cover on the
handset by pressing on the indentation and sliding the
cover downward.
2 Lift out the old battery pack.
3 Place the new battery pack in the compartment.
Make sure the metal contacts on the end of the battery
are aligned with the charging contacts in the battery
compartment.
4 Replace the cover by sliding it on its track up over
the battery case until it snaps firmly into place.

using the phone. Place the handset face up or face
down in the base and allow it to charge for at least four
hours. The telephone might operate in as little as 10
minutes, but for best performance, let the battery pack
charge fully.
