Avoid television sets and
other electronic equipment

Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic

outlet (one which is not connected to a switch).

such as motors and fluorescent lighting.

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges
automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit.

NOTE:

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, be sure that
installing the system does not disable your alarm
equipment. If you have questions about what will
disable your alarm equipment, contact your
telephone company or a qualified installer.

1. Press down on the handset battery case cover

(use the finger indention for a better grip) and
slide the cover downward to remove.

2. Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into

the jack inside the battery compartment (the connector
notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way).
Match the wire colours to the polarity label in the battery
compartment, connect the battery and listen for a click
to insure connection.

3. Before replacing the battery cover, pull on the battery

wires slightly. If the connection is secure, the jack will
stay in place. Then place the battery case cover back on
the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.

battery (BT- 905) supplied with your phone.
