3. Replace the cover and tighten the
screw.
4. To charge the battery, simply
place the handset on the base.
The CHARGE indicator on the base
lights.
Recharge the battery when the BATT
LOW 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
and AC adapter are correctly and
securely connected.
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery,
the phone might not work and you
might hear an error tone. If this
happens, return the handset to
the base for about 5 seconds.
• If the BATT LOW indicator does
not light, but the phone does not
work, recharge the battery. (The
battery charge might be too low to
flash the indicator.)
• If the battery pack gets weak dur-
ing a call, the handset sounds a
beep every 30 seconds, and the
BATT LOW indicator flashes. If
this happens, you cannot make
another call on the phone until you
recharge the battery.
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the base until the
BATT LOW indicator flashes. Oth-
erwise, the battery 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.
