4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the

flashes on

Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The IN USE/CHARGE indica-
tor lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not con-
nected.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear three beeps when
you press
TALK
. If this happens,
return the handset to the base for
about 2 seconds. This resets the
security access-protection code.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged, the handset might lose its
security access-protection code. To
reset the code, return the handset to
the base for about 2 seconds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 16 seconds and
Recharge!
Battery
low
appears. When this
happens, you cannot make another
call on the phone until you recharge
the battery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until the hand-
set display shows
Recharge!
Battery
low
. Otherwise, the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
• If the handset display does not show
Recharge!
Battery
low
, but
the phone does not work, recharge
the battery pack. (The battery
charge might be too low to light the
indicator.)
• If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery pack.
This increases the battery pack's
usable life.
