Connecting, Charging, And
Replacing The Battery Pack

The phone comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack. You
must connect the battery pack and
charge it for at least 15 hours before
you use the phone for the first time.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to

remove the screw on the battery
compartment cover, then remove
the cover.

2. Plug the battery pack’s connector

into the socket in the compartment
(the connector fits only one way).

• About once a month, fully

discharge the battery pack by

remote keypad on the base, be

base, the IN USE/CHARGE
indicator lights even when the
battery pack is not connected. If
your phone does not work, be
sure the battery pack is properly
connected.

• If the battery pack becomes

completely discharged or the base
loses power while the remote
keypad is away from it, place the
remote keypad on the base for
