BATTERIES
Charging the Handset Battery Pack
The batteries need charging when:
• The phone beeps four times when you press P.
• The battery status icon on the screen is only partly
displayed.
• The phone does not respond when you press P, and
no lights go on.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light goes on.
(You can place the handset face up or face down if the base is on
a table; you can place the handset face down if the base is wall-
mounted.) The batteries will be fully charged within 10 hours.
Once the batteries are fully charged, you need only put the hand-
set in the base when the top segment of the battery status icon
flashes or remains off.
Afully charged battery maintains standby power for up to 12 days
when the Handset Ringer Control switch is set to ON, and up to
21 days when the Handset Ringer Control switch is set to OFF.
If it’s more convenient for you, you can leave the handset in the
base all the time. It is impossible to overcharge the batteries. If
you get a low battery indicator even after 10 hours of charging, the
battery should be replaced.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to
persons or damage to the telephone, read and follow these
instructions carefully.
• Use only Replacement Battery 4051.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check local codes for special disposal
instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short
the battery with conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may
overheat and cause harm.
• Follow the directions in this manual for charging the
battery specified for use with this phone.
• Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery
and the battery charger.

pack into the case, so the wires rest below the battery
pack.
4Replace the cover by sliding it on its track up over the
battery case until it snaps firmly into place.
5The new batteries must be charged before using the
phone. Place the handset face down in the base and
allow it to charge for 10 hours. The telephone might
operate before that, but for best performance, let the
handset batteries charge fully.

OPERATING RANGE
9
This cordless telephone operates at the maximum power allowed
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, the
handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance —
which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the
weather, and the construction of your home or office.
If the handset is moved to a point where the base and handset can
no longer communicate, the handset will sound two short beeps
when you make a call, indicating that you are out of range. Move
closer to the base to restore normal operation.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not
ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press
P. Move closer to the base, then press Pto answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you will hear
noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range while on a call, the phone will be left “off
the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically
pressing Puntil the PHONE light goes off.
