Installing the Handset Battery

NOTE: You must connect the handset battery before using the cordless handsets.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the Thomson Inc. approved Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery model 5-2729, which is compatible with this unit.

1.Locate battery and battery door which are packaged together inside a plastic bag and are separate from the handset.

2.Locate the battery compartment on the back of the handset.

3.Plug the battery pack cord into the jack inside the compartment.

NOTE: It is important to maintain the polarity (black and red wires) to the jack inside the compartment. To ensure proper battery installation, the connector is keyed and can be inserted only one way.
