4. To charge the battery pack, simply
place the handset on the base.
The CHARGE indicator on the
base lights.
Recharge the battery pack when the
LOW BATT indicator on the handset
flashes.
Notes:
• 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.
• 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.
If this happens, return the handset
to the base for a few seconds.
• If the LOW BATT indicator does
not light, but the phone does not
work, recharge the battery pack.
The battery voltage might be too
low to light the indicator.
• If the battery pack gets weak dur-
ing a call, the handset sounds
three beeps every 30 seconds,
and the LOW BATT indicator flash-
es for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes,
the phone automatically discon-
nects. If this happens, you cannot
make another call on the phone
until you recharge the battery
pack.
• About every 30 days, fully dis-
charge the battery pack by keep-
ing the handset off the base until
the LOW BATT indicator lights.
Otherwise, the battery pack loses
its ability to fully recharge.
• 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.
