Charging Spare Battery Packs (DKT2204-CT only)
The charging unit of your cordless telephone is equipped to charge the spare battery pack with or
without the handset in the front slot.
1. Slide the spare battery pack into the second slot in the charging unit
until the retaining clip snaps over the top of the pack.
2. Make sure the
BATT CHARGE indicator lights. If the BATT
CHARGE
indicator doesn’t light, check to see that the AC adapter is
plugged in, and that the battery pack is making good contact with the
unit’s charging contacts.
Note Charge the battery pack without interruption for 12~15 hours.
3. When charging is complete, press out on the latch and remove the
battery pack for use. Or, if you don’t need the battery pack immediately,
leave it in the charging compartment. It will not overcharge.
Simultaneous Conversation Channels
DKT2204-CT
The DKT2204-CT cordless digital telephone has 10 operating channels available.
A common misconception is that this limits a customer to 10 cordless telephones. This is not the
case. Each cordless digital telephone can operate on any of the 10 channels. When you turn on a
cordless digital telephone, the telephone selects an available channel within its’ range. In a given
cordless range, 10 simultaneous calls can be made. In most businesses, it is unlikely that all 10
channels will be in use at the same time. Typically 20 to 30 telephones can share the 10 channels.
Another factor is the distribution of the telephones in a facility. If your cordless digital telephones
are disbursed throughout a facility, there should not be contention for channels. If there are more
than 10 cordless digital telephones in one area and 10 users are using their cordless telephones, an
11
th
user would not be able to connect at that time.
DKT2304-CT
The DKT2304-CT cordless handset has 30 operating channels available. A common
misconception is that this limits a customer to 30 handsets. This is not the case. Each handset can
operate on any of the 30 channels because each one selects an available channel within its range.
In a given range, 30 simultaneous calls can be made.
Another factor is the distribution of the telephones in a facility. If your handsets are disbursed
throughout a facility, there should not be contention for all channels. If there are more than 30 in
one area and 30 users are using their handsets, the 31
st
user would not be able to get dial tone.
