CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK
The ET-521 comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack in the
handset but not connected. Before using
your phone, you must connect the bat-
tery pack and then charge it for about 15
hours.
1. Press down and slide off the com-
partment cover as shown.
2. Plug the battery pack’s connector
into the socket in the compartment.
The connector fits only one way.
Note: For easier battery pack con-
nection, lift it out of the compart-
ment, insert its connector into the
socket, then replace the battery
pack inside the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, simply place
the handset on the base. The CHARGE
indicator on the base lights.
Note: You can place the handset on the
base face up or face down.
Recharge the battery pack when
appears on the handset’s display.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear an error tone when
you press
TALK . If this happens, re-
turn the handset to the base for
about 6 seconds. This resets the se-
curity access protection code.
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you place the handset on
the base, be sure the battery pack
and AC adapter are correctly and
securely connected.
