Cleaning the battery charging contacts

Using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the base to charge.

Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish.

2) Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit.

3) Make sure the charge/in use LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

NOTICE: Place the power cord so it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

NOTE: • Use only the supplied AD-0001 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.

•Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.

•Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.
