Battery Installation and Charging
Install the battery as shown below. For best performance, charge the 
handset for at least 16 hours before use. When not in use, place the handset 
in the telephone base or charger. See page 41 for battery operating times.
1.  If the battery compartment cover is on the handset, press the 
indentation and slide the cover to remove.
2.  Plug the battery securely into the plug inside the handset battery 
compartment, matching the color-coded label.
3.  Place the battery with the label THIS SIDE UP facing up and the wires 
inside the battery compartment.
4.  Align the cover flat against the battery compartment, then slide it 
towards the center of the handset until it clicks into place.
5.  Charge the handset by placing it in the telephone base or charger. The 
CHARGE light is on when the handset charges.
