driver to pry it out from the battery
compartment.
2

rechargeable battery plug and insert
the rechargeable battery into the
battery compartment. Make sure cable
connector is inserted into the slot

Installation of the Rechargeable Battery
Charging the Rechargeable Battery
It is recommended that the rechargeable battery be fully charged overnight prior to
initial use. The handset’s rechargeable battery will be charged when it’s on the
base’s charge contacts; the Base LED indicator will light.
The battery low indicator will light in the display and a beep will be heard when
using the handset and the battery power is low and needs recharging.
NOTES:
• If the battery does not appear to be charging please insure the cable connector
of the battery is inserted correctly and securely. The display will still read
“Charging” and the base LED will light up as long as the contacts of the phone
and base are touching even if the battery is not properly connected so this does
not insure proper charging.
• Every few months, or when charging becomes abnormal, clean the contacts of
the handset and the base with a standard pencil eraser.
