1. Connect the output plug of the mains adapter to the adapter socket on
the back of the base unit and the mains adapter to the wall mains supply.
2. Connect the telephone lead to the phone cord socket on the back of the
base unit and to the wall phone socket.
3. Remove the battery door on the handset by lifting the battery door
outward from the bottom.
4. Insert 2 x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied into each, observing their
polarities, into the battery compartment.

14 hours before using.
Charging the handset
An empty battery icon
indicates the batteries need recharging. Place the
handset on the base cradle to recharge the batteries. You should hear a
(double beep) when handset is put on the charging cradle. The handset
battery icon
scrolls during charging. Handset may take some time to
power up and it may get warm during initial charge. This is normal. A
handset reaching a very low battery voltage level will go into sleep mode,
displaying LOW BATT on the screen.
Tip! It is good practice to put the handset on the base unit to charge when it
is not in use or every evening to ensure the handset is always fully charged.
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT
TYPE. Refer to the original type supplied with this telephone. Ni-MH
batteries must be disposed of in accordance with applicable waste disposal
regulations.
