or recycling center. Or, you may call 1-800-8BATTERY for
locations accepting spent Nickel-Cadmium batteries.
Place the handset in the base either in the face-down or
face-up position so the CHARGING light turns on. The
battery pack is typically fully charged in six hours.
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the

rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause harm.
The new battery pack must be charged before
using the phone. Place the handset face up or face
down in the base and allow it to charge for at least
12 hours the first charge (after that, the battery will
