2.Remove the battery pack and plug its connector into the phone’s socket. The connector fits only one way.

3.Put the battery pack back in the compartment, then replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, place the handset on the base either face up or face down. The CHARGE indicator on the base lights.

Note: The battery pack will not fully charge when you place the handset on the base face up.

Recharge the battery pack when the BATT LOW indicator on the handset flashes.

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. Even if they are, your handset’s battery power still might be low. Wait 3 minutes. The CHARGE indicator should light.

After charging or recharging the bat- tery 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 battery pack gets completely discharged or the base loses power while the handset is away from it, re- set the security access-protection code by placing the handset on the base. If the handset lost power, leave the handset on the base to charge the battery pack.

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 tar- nished.
