PREPARATION
INSTALLING THE
HANDSET BATTERY
Your phone comes with a battery
which you must install, connect, and
charge for 15 hours before you use
your phone for the first time.
To install the battery:
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover.
2. Insert the battery into the compart-
ment so its connector can reach
the pins inside the compartment,
and secure it with the plastic
strap.
3. Slide the battery’s connector onto
the pins.
Caution:
The connector only fits
one way; do not force it. If you
have difficulty sliding the connec-
tor onto the pins, turn it over and
try again.
4. Replace the cover, then follow the
instructions under “Charging the
Handset Battery’’ before you use
the phone.
CHARGING THE
HANDSET BATTERY
When you install a new battery, set
POWER
to
OFF
. Then place the hand-
set on the cradle so the IN USE/
CHARGE indicator lights and charge
the battery for about 15 hours.
Recharge the battery when LOW
BATT on the handset lights.
Caution:
To avoid damage to the bat-
tery, always recharge the handset bat-
tery as soon as LOW BATT lights.
Notes:
• You can set
POWER
to
ON
while
the battery charges, but it charges
more quickly if you set
POWER
to
OFF
.
• If the IN USE/CHARGE indicator
does not light when you place the
handset on the cradle, be sure the
battery is connected to the pins
inside the battery compartment,
and the AC adapter is securely
connected to the base. Also,
check the charging contacts on
