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
indoor (120V AC) power outlet. Connect any chargers the same way.
6. Place a handset in the base with the display facing forward. If the display
doesn’t light up, reseat the handset or connect the base to a different outlet.
For 2 or more handsets, place each handset in a charger.
# Charge the handset completely (about 15 hours) before using.

the rear of the base) over the pins on the wall plate; slide the base down to
lock it into place.
