covers. If you need to remove a cover, press in on the notch and slide the cover down and off.

2. Line up the battery connector with the jack inside

the handset; the connector only fits one way.

3. Push the connector in until it clicks into place; tug gently on the wires to

make sure the battery is securely connected.

4. Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.

5. Use an AC adapter to connect the power jack on the base to a regular
