NOTES

Wall Mount Installation on
a Standard Modular Wall Plate

Install the Base Unit away from electronic
equipment, such as personal computers,
television sets or microwave ovens. Avoid
excessive heat, cold, dust or moisture.

Connecting/Charging the Battery Pack

• This battery should remain charged up to

five days with the ringer turned on and up to
12 days with the ringer off. A fully charged
battery provides an average talk time of
about six hours.

• Place the Handset in the Base so the

CHARGING light turns on. The battery pack
is typically fully charged in 10 hours.

• You can keep the battery fully charged by

returning the Handset to the Base after each
use.

• If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator,

even after charging overnight, the battery
should be replaced.

• Be sure the battery pack is properly

connected before you try to charge it. The
IN USE/CHARGING indicator lights when
the handset is on the base, even if the
battery pack is not connected.

BATTERY NOTES

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and

properly.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different

types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.

• If you do not plan to use the phone for over a

month, remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can damage electronic
parts.
