CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The ET-521 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 and then charge it for about 15 hours.

1.Press down and slide off the com- partment cover as shown.

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

Note: For easier battery pack con- nection, lift it out of the compart- ment, insert its connector into the socket, then replace the battery pack inside the compartment.

3. Replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, simply place the handset on the base. The CHARGE indicator on the base lights.

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 TALK. If this happens, re- turn the handset to the base for about 6 seconds. This resets the se- curity access protection code.

•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.
