PREPARATION

Follow the steps in “Connecting the Headset Charger, Wireless Headset and Infrared Remote Dial Card” on Page 7 to install the battery in the headset.

Follow these steps to install a battery pack in the base.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

After you install a battery pack, let the battery charge for about 24 hours before you use the headset the first time. The charging indicator on the headset lights red.

The headset charges whenever it is on the headset charger. You can charge the battery at any time, but you must charge the battery when the IN USE/ BATT. LOW indicator lights red (or flash- es yellow when using the headset).

Note: If the charging indicator does not light when you place the headset on the headset charger, be sure the battery is installed correctly inside the battery compartment and the plug is securely connected on the headset charger. Also, be sure the headset is placed properly on the headset charger.

2.Place the battery pack in the battery compartment with the battery’s con- nectors in contact with the battery compartment’s connectors.

3.Replace the cover.

When you install a battery in the base, the SPARE BATTERY indicator lights and the battery pack automatically be- gins charging. The battery pack takes about 24 hours to fully charge.

INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY PACK

Your phone requires a 3.6V recharge- able Ni-MH battery pack (not supplied) for backup power when AC power fails. In case of a power failure, you can make and receive calls for up to four hours with a fully charged battery pack.
