To remove the battery, be sure the phone is turned off, then press the latch at the top of the battery and slide the battery toward the bottom of the phone until it stops. Then lift the bat- tery off the phone.
Note: If you have an extra charged battery and the currently installed battery becomes low during a call, you can change the battery without ending the call or losing the connection. See “Replacing a Battery During a Call” on Page 13.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The nickel metal hydride battery supplied with your telephone is shipped in a discharged state to extend the battery’s life. It must be fully charged before you can use your phone.
We recommend that you charge a new battery overnight, but no longer than 24 hours, using the AC charger supplied with your phone. Recharging time varies based on the type of bat- tery and the amount of charge left in the battery. See “Rec- ommended Recharging Times” on Page 12.
Follow these steps to charge the supplied (or any approved) battery using the charger supplied with your phone.
1.Install the battery on the phone.
2.Remove the charging jack cover on the bottom of the phone and insert the charger’s flat plug into the charging jack.
Note: The plug fits into the jack only one way. If you have difficulty inserting the plug, turn it over and try again. Do not force it!
3.Plug the charger’s power cord into a standard AC outlet. The battery charge indicator appears.
