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. Also, check the charging contacts on the handset and the base. If the con- tacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pencil eraser.
•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 5 seconds.
•About once a month, fully dis- charge the battery by keeping the handset off the base until the TALK/BATT LOW indicator lights. Otherwise, the battery loses its ability to fully recharge.
•If the TALK/BATT LOW indicator does not light, but the phone does not work, recharge the battery.
