BATTERIES

Charging the Handset Battery Pack

The batteries need charging when:

• The phone beeps four times when you press P.

• The LOW BATTERY light on the handset flashes on and off.

• The phone does not respond when you press P, and no lights go on.

Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light goes on. The batteries will be fully charged in 14 hours.

NOTE: The handset must lie flat in the base, with the keypad facing down, when charging. The char ging light in the base goes on if the handset is positioned correctly.

A fully charged battery maintains standby power for up to 14 days when the Handset Ringer ON/OFF switch is set to ON, and up to 21 days when the Handset Ringer ON/OFF switch is set to OFF.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of

fire or injury to persons or damage to the telephone, read and

follow these instructions carefully .

• Use Replacement Battery 4051 in the handset.

• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell might explode.

• Do not open, puncture or mutilate the battery . Released electrolyte is corrosive and might cause damage to the eyes or skin. It might be toxic if swallowed.

Replacing the Handset Battery Pack

1 Remove the battery case cover on

the handset by pressing on the indentation and sliding the cover downward.

2 Lift out the old battery pack and

unplug it from the handset.

3 Hold the new battery pack and plug

the connector into the handset.

Place the battery pack into the case, so the wires rest above the battery pack.

4 Replace the cover by sliding it on its

track up over the battery case until it snaps firmly into place.

5 The new batteries must be charged

before using the phone. Place the

handset face down in the base and allow it to charge for 14 hours. The telephone might operate before that, but for best performance, let the handset batteries charge fully.

If it’ s more convenient for you, you can leave the handset in the base all the time. It is impossible to overcharge the batteries. If you get a low battery indicator even after the batteries have been charged 14 hours, the battery should be replaced.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

If you have difficulty operating this phone, try the suggestions below. If you still have trouble, call 1 800 722–9125.

If the phone does not work at all, check these items first

• Make sure the power cord is plugged into the base and an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone jack.

• If the phone does not beep, or beeps four times when you press P, the batteries might need recharging.

• If the handset LOW BATTERY light is flashing, the batteries need recharging.

• Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly .

• If the battery pack will not charge, try cleaning the charge contacts with an eraser. If the battery pack will still not charge, replace it with Replacement Battery 4051.

• If the above suggestions do not solve the problem, try resetting the security code (see next section).

If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to use the handset

• The handset and base are not communicating properly. You might be out of range while attempting to dial. Move closer to the base and try the call again.

• If moving closer to the base does not help, the handset and base might be set to different security codes. To reset the security code, try the following:

• Place the handset in the base,

and check to make sure the CHARGING light is on. Wait 15 seconds, then pick up the handset and press P. The phone should operate properly. If it does not, try the next step.

Wait another 15 seconds, then pick up the handset and press P. The phone should operate properly.

If you have no dial tone, check all the previous suggestions. If you still do not hear a dial tone, disconnect the phone and try another phone in the same jack.
