You should erase some messages so the answering system can record new
messages.

the answering system, enter your 3-digit security code after you hear the beep.
Changing the Battery
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or
personal injury, use only the battery listed
in the Accessory Information in the back of
this User's Guide.
1. Make sure the telephone is OFF (not in talk
mode) before you replace battery.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover.
3. Disconnect the cord attached to the battery
pack from the jack inside the battery
compartment and remove the battery pack
from the handset.
4. Insert the new battery pack and reconnect the battery plug.
5. Put the battery compartment cover back on.
6. Place handset in the base or handset charge cradle to charge. If you don't
charge the handset battery properly (for 16 hours) when you first set
up the phone and/or when you install a new battery pack, the battery's
long-term performance will be compromised.
