4. Place the batter cover and slide it up into place.
5. Use an AC adapter to connect the power jack on each charger to a regular indoor (120V AC) power outlet.
6. Place each handset in a charger with the display facing forward. If the charge light on the charger doesn’t light up, reseat the handset or connect the charger to a different outlet.
