Replacing the Handset Battery Pack
1 Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset by
pressing on the indentation and sliding the cover downward.
2 Lift out the old battery pack.
3 Place the new battery pack into the handset.
4 Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.
5 The new battery pack must be charged before using the phone.
Place the handset in the base and allow it to charge for at least
16 hours the first charge. The telephone might operate before that, but
for best performance, let the battery pack charge fully.
