electrical outlet.

the handset are making good contact with the base unit’s
charging contacts.

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging
contacts on the handset and base unit. Use a pencil eraser or
other contact cleaner.
Do not use any liquids or solvents.

explode or catch fire.

time the handset is placed on the base in the charging cradle.
