4.To charge the battery pack, simply place the handset on the base. The CHARGE indicator on the base lights.
Recharge the battery pack when the BATT LOW indicator flashes.
BATTLOW
Notes:
•If the CHARGE indicator does not light when you place the handset on the base, be sure the battery pack and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.
•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. If this happens, return the handset to the base for a few seconds.
•If the BATT LOW indicator does not flash and the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery charge might be too low to flash the indicator.)
•If the battery pack gets weak dur- ing a call, the handset sounds a beep every 30 seconds, and the BATT LOW indicator flashes. If this happens, you must recharge the battery pack before you can make another call.
•About once a month, fully dis- charge the battery pack by keep- ing the handset off the base until the BATT LOW indicator flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
•Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the handset and the base about once a month to make sure they are not dirty or tarnished.
