TELEPHONE PREPARATION

CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The TAD-1016 comes with a recharge- able nickel-cadmium battery in the handset. Before using your phone, you must connect the battery, then charge it for about 14 hours.

1.Using a Phillips screwdriver. remove the screw on the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the handset.

2.Press down and slide off the handset’s battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow.

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

4.Replace the cover and tighten the screw.

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

Recharge the battery when the BATT LOW indicator flashes.

Notes:

If the CHARGE indicator does not light when you place the handset on the base, be sure the battery and AC adapter are securely con- nected.

When you first use the phone after charging the battery, the phone might not work and you might hear an error tone. If this hap- pens, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds.

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 tarnished.
