Your new telephone includes the highest quality NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
rechargeable batteries available. Following these simple instructions below can
significantly improve your operational results.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Charge all battery packs for at least 15 hours prior to connecting to the telephone line.
1. Press the battery release point on the back of the handset and slide downward to
open the battery compartment.
2. Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment and make sure to position the
battery pack till it touches the charging contacts.
3. Slide the battery cover upward until it snaps into place.
4. Connect the AC adaptor to the 7.5V DC jack of the base unit and to a standard 120V
AC wall outlet.
5. Place the handset on the base unit. Make sure the Charge indicator on the base unit
lights, and the charging begins.
6. During charging, the battery icon on the handset LCD will change from ‘very low’, to
‘low’, to ‘medium’, to ‘full’ and repeat as a cycle.
Low Battery
The battery icon on the right of the LCD shows the level of battery strength.
Full Medium Low Very low
If the handset battery is not properly charged, there will be a warning tone while the
handset is in use and “LOW BATTERY” will be displayed. While this occurs, the handset
will not function when you press the keys.
Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is
important to clean all battery contacts on the handset
and the base unit with a soft, dry cloth about once a month. You may also use a pencil
eraser or other contact cleaner, but do not use any liquids or solvents.
