CONNECTING, CHARGING, AND REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
The phone comes with a rechargeable nick-
el-cadmium battery pack installed in the
handset, but not connected. Before using
your phone, you must connect the battery
pack, then charge it for about 24 hours.
1. Press down then slide off the battery
compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment.
3. Plug the battery pack’s connector into
the socket in the compartment (the con-
nector fits only one way), replace the
battery pack, then replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, simply place the
handset on the base, facing either up or
down. The base’s CHARGE indicator lights.

flashes on the handset’s display.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is prop-
erly connected before you try to charge it.

handset is on the base even if the battery
pack is not properly connected.
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

handset to the base for about 5 sec-
onds. This resets the security access-
protection code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and the
base about once a month.
