CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
Your phone comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack installed in
the handset, but not connected. Before
using your phone, you must connect the
battery pack, then charge it for about 24
hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-
partment. Plug the battery pack’s
connector into the socket in the
compartment. The connector fits
only one way.
3. Put the battery pack in the compart-
ment.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, simply place
the handset on the base, facing either
up or down. The CHARGE indicator on
the base lights.
Important:
Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE indicator lights
when the handset is on the base, even if
the battery pack is not connected.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear a five-beep error sig-
nal when you press
LINE 1
or
LINE 2
.
If this happens, return the handset
to the base for about 5 seconds.
This resets the security access-
protection code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• If the phone does not work, try
recharging the battery pack. (The
battery power might be too low to
flash the line indicators.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 3 seconds. When this hap-
pens, you cannot make another call
on the phone until you recharge the
battery pack.
