CHANGING THE BATTERY
Make sure the telephone is OFF before you replace battery.

battery compartment and remove the battery pack.
3. Insert the new battery pack and connect the battery plug.

5. Place handset in the base to charge. If you don’t

install a new battery pack, the battery’s long-term
performance will be compromised.
