CHARGING THE
BATTERY
After you install a new battery, place
the handset on the base and let the
battery charge for about 15 hours be-
fore you use it the first time. The IN
USE/CHARGE indicator lights.
The phone recharges whenever the
handset is on the base. You can re-
charge the battery at any time, but you
must be sure to recharge the battery
when the LOW BATT indicator flashes
on the handset.
Notes:
• The first time you use your phone
after installing a new battery, the
handset might not work or might
sound an error tone when you
press
TALK
. This might also occur
when you recharge a battery that
has been completely discharged.
If this happens, return the handset
to the base for 5 seconds. This
resets the security access protec-
tion code.
• If the IN USE/CHARGE indicator
does not light when you place the
handset on the base, be sure the
battery is connected to the socket
inside the battery compartment
and the AC adapter is securely
connected to the base.
Also, be sure the handset is
placed properly on the base, so
the charging contacts on the
handset and base meet.
If the contacts are dirty or tar-
nished, gently clean them with a
pencil eraser.
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the base until the
LOW BATT indicator flashes.
Then return the handset to the
base and recharge the battery for
15 hours.
