10 Installation
2. Plug one end of the supplied long modu-
lar cord into the TEL LINE jack on the
back of the base and route the adapter
cable and modular cords through the
grooves on the bracket.
3. Align the bracket’s keyhole slots with the
mounting screws and slide the phone
downward to secure it.
CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK
The phone comes with a rechargeable nick-
el-cadmium battery pack in the handset but
not connected. Before using your phone, you
must connect the battery pack and then
charge it for about 24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment.
3. Plug the battery pack’s connector into
the socket in the compartment (the con-
nector fits only one way), then replace
the battery pack.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the hand-
set on the base either faceup or facedown.
The CHARGE indicator on the base lights
and
Total:00 appears on the handset dis-
play.
Recharge the battery pack when Low Bat-
tery flashes on the display.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is prop-
erly 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 hand-
set to the base for about 5 seconds. This
resets the security access-protection
code.
• If the base loses power for 60 minutes
while the handset is away from it or the
handset’s battery pack is completely dis-
charged, the security access-protection
code might be lost. To reset the code,
return the handset to the base for about
5 seconds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and the
base about once a month.
