CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The ET-1104 comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack in the handset but not connected. Before using your phone, you must connect the bat- tery pack and then charge it for about 24 hours.

2.Unfasten the plastic retainer strap and lift the battery pack out of the compartment. Plug the battery pack’s connector into the socket in the compartment. The connector fits only one way.

3.Place the battery pack inside the compartment and fasten the retainer strap.

4.Replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, place the handset on the base either face-up or face-down. The CHARGE indicator on the base lights.

CHARGE Indicator

When the handset beeps and the LOW BATT indicator on the handset flashes, recharge the battery pack.

Notes:

When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, you might hear an error tone (3 short beeps) or the phone might not work when you press TALK. If this happens, return the handset to the base for a few seconds. This re- sets the security access-protection code.

If the battery pack gets completely discharged or the base loses power while the handset is away from it, the security access-protection code needs to be reset. To reset the secu- rity code, place the handset on the base. If it was the handset that lost power, leave the handset on the base to charge the battery pack.

If the CHARGE indicator flickers rapidly when you place the handset on the base, be sure the battery pack and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.
