Installation
Charging the Battery Pack
The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack must be fully
charged before using your phone for the first time. Before
plugging the phone line into your new phone, you must
charge the battery for approximately 15-20 hours
without interruption.
1. Remove the handset battery cover. (For initial charging, the
battery pack will already be inside the compartment, but
will not be plugged in.)
2. Plug the battery’s cable
into the handset.
3. Replace the battery cover.
▼Charging the Handset
Place the handset on the
base to charge. (The
handset can charge in
either the face-up or
face-down position.)
▼Low Battery Indicator
When the battery pack in the handset
is low and needs to be charged, the
BATT LOW
LED flashes every 3 seconds.
If this occurs while you are on the
phone, you will hear an alert tone.
Complete your call as quickly as
possible, and return the handset to
the base for charging.
▼Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good
charge, it is important
to clean all battery
contacts on the handset
and base about once a
month. Use a pencil eraser
or other contact cleaner.
Do not use any liquids
or solvents.
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the
“Installation Considerations” included in the “Precautions and
Important Safety Instructions” brochure.
