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

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

these instructions carefully .
• Use Lucent T echnologies Replace
ment Battery 4051 in the handset.

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.
