PREPARATION
CONNECTING THE
BATTERY
Before you use your phone for the first
time, you must connect the battery and
charge it for 15 hours.
Slide off the battery compartment cov-
er on the back of the handset and con-
nect the battery’s plug to the pins
inside the compartment.
Replace the cover, then follow the in-
structions under “Charging the Bat-
tery.”
CHARGING THE
BATTERY
After you connect the battery, set
POWER
to
OFF
. Then place the hand-
set on the base so the CHARGE/TALK
indicator lights and let the battery
charge for about 15 hours.
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 LOW BATT lights on the hand-
set.
Notes:
The first time you use your phone
after charging the 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, be sure the hand-
set is turned on. Then return the
handset to the base for 5 sec-
onds. This resets the security
access protection code.
