Follow these steps to install and charge
the battery pack.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Install the battery pack so the slots
on the upper ends engage with the
tabs on the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset either faceup or facedown on
the base. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-
tor on the base lights and
Total:00
appear 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/INUSE indica-
tor lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not con-
nected.
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 handset’s battery pack is com-
pletely depleted, 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.
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 3 seconds and
Low Bat-
tery flashes. When this happens,
you cannot make another call on the
phone until you recharge the battery
pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until
Low
Battery flashes. Otherwise, the
battery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
