TELEPHONE PREPARATION
CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
The TAD-1016 comes with a recharge-
able nickel-cadmium battery in the
handset. Before using your phone, you
must connect the battery, then charge
it for about 14 hours.
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver.
remove the screw on the battery
compartment cover on the bottom
of the handset.
2. Press down and slide off the
handset’s battery compartment
cover in the direction of the arrow.
3. Plug the battery pack’s plastic
connector into the socket in the
battery compartment. The plug fits
only one way.
4. Replace the cover and tighten the
screw.
5. To charge the battery, simply
place the handset on the base.
The CHARGE indicator on the
base lights.
Recharge the battery when the BATT
LOW indicator flashes.
Notes:
If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you place the handset
on the base, be sure the battery
and AC adapter are securely con-
nected.
When you first use the phone after
charging the battery, the phone
might not work and you might
hear an error tone. If this hap-
pens, return the handset to the
base for about 5 seconds.
Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month
to make sure they are not dirty or
tarnished.
