4. To charge the battery pack, simply
place the handset on the base.

BATT LOW indicator flashes.
BATTLOW
Notes:
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you place the handset
on the base, be sure the battery
pack and AC adapter are correctly
and securely connected.
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work
and you might hear an error tone.
If this happens, return the handset
to the base for a few seconds.
• If the BATT LOW indicator does
not flash and the phone does not
work, recharge the battery pack.
(The battery charge might be too
low to flash the indicator.)
• If the battery pack gets weak dur-
ing a call, the handset sounds a
beep every 30 seconds, and the
BATT LOW indicator flashes. If
this happens, you must recharge
the battery pack before you can
make another call.
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery pack by keep-
ing the handset off the base until
the BATT LOW indicator flashes.
Otherwise, the battery pack loses
its ability to fully recharge.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month
to make sure they are not dirty or
tarnished.
