Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. Do not use any liquids or solvents. Installing the Handset Battery Pack 1. Press in on the battery cover release. Charging the Battery Pack 2. Slide the battery compartment cover down. Initial Battery Charging The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack must be fully charged before using your phone for the first time. We recommend that the battery pack charge for approximately 15-20 hours, without interruption, before plugging the phone line into your new phone. Either place the handset with the earpiece in the cradle. 3. Align the plastic connector of the Nickel-Cadmium battery pack with its socket and plug it in. Note: The black lead will be on the right when the plug is properly aligned. Place the battery pack inside the battery compartment, and slide the battery cover back on. --OR-- Place the handset in the cradle with it standing on end (desk mount only) . Note: Make sure to change the handset retainer before hanging up the phone (wall mounted bases). Battery Memory Effect Note: The built-in memory backup feature allows up to 3 minutes to disconnect the old battery pack and install a new one without losing any numbers stored in memory. 7 Rechargeable batteries can develop a "memory" (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter every time you use the unit. To Avoid this Memory Effect At least once a month, operate the unit until the "Battery Low" indicator appears. Then recharge the battery for a full 15 - 20 hours. Avoid putting the handset back in the base after using the phone for a short time. This could cause "topping off" the charge. Note: Most phone systems are tone dialing. Check with your local phone company if you are not sure whether your system is tone or pulse dialing. Adjusting Ringer Controls To adjust the ringer volume of your handset, press G when the phone is not in use. You can also select one of two different ringer tones for the handset. Press G to select a different ringer tone when the phone is not in use. Low Battery Indicator When the battery pack in the handset is very low and needs to be charged, the talk/batt low LED flashes. Adjusting Handset Receiver Volume Volume settings are "normal" and "high. " When the handset is first picked up, the volume will be at the "normal" setting.
