CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK
The ET-1118 comes with a recharge-
able 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 24
hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover as shown.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-
partment.
3. Plug the battery pack’s connector
into the socket in the compartment
(the connector fits only one way),
then replace the battery pack.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset on the base either faceup or
facedown. The CHARGE indicator on
the base lights and
Total:00 appears
on the handset display.
Recharge the battery pack when Low
Battery flashes on the display.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The
CHARGE indicator lights
when the handset is on the base, even if
the battery pack is not connected.
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,
return the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds. This resets the
security access-protection code.
• If the base loses power for 60 min-
utes while the handset is away from
it or the handset’s battery pack is
completely discharged, the security
access-protection code might be
lost. To reset the code, return the
handset to the base for about 5 sec-
onds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
