CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The ET-685 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, then charge it for about 24 hours.

1.Slide open the battery compartment cover and lift the battery pack out of the compartment.

2.Plug the battery pack’s connector into the socket in the compartment. The connector fits only one way.

3.Replace the battery pack and the cover.

Recharge the battery pack when the handset beeps every 3 seconds or Low Battery flashes on the handset’s dis- play.

To charge the battery pack, place the handset either faceup or facedown on the base. The CHARGE indicator on the base lights.

Important: Be sure the battery pack is properly connected before you try to charge it. The CHARGE indicator lights whenever the handset is on the base, even if the battery pack is not connect- ed.

Notes:

•When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear an error tone when you press LINE 1 or LINE 2. If this happens, return the handset to the base for about five seconds. This resets the security access-protec- tion code.

•If the battery pack gets weak during a call, the handset beeps every 3 seconds and Low Battery flashes on the handset’s display. When this happens, you cannot make another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.
