GE 25860 manual Changing the Battery, Battery Safety Precautions

Changing the Battery

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the battery 5-2548 that is compatible with this unit.

1. Make sure the telephone is OFF (not inTALK mode) before you replace battery.

2. Remove the battery compartment cover.

3. Disconnect the cord attached to the battery pack from the jack inside the battery compartment and remove the battery pack from the handset.

4. Connect the new battery pack and insert it in the battery compartment.

5.Put the battery compartment cover back on.

6.Place handset in the base or handset charge cradle to charge. If you don’t charge the handset battery properly (for 16 hours) when you first set up the phone and/or when you install a new battery pack, the battery’s long- term performance is compromised.

NOTE: If the battery is not properly installed in the handset, or if the battery pack is not properly connected to the jack inside the battery compartment, “NO BATTERY” shows in the display when the handset is placed in the base cradle.
