REPLACING THE HANDSET BATTERIES

1. Remove the locking screw on the bottom of the Handset, then slide the battery cover off by gently pressing on the recessed area with a downward motion.

2. Unplug and remove the old battery pack. Don't put the old battery pack in a trash compactor or a fire - it could burst.

3. Plug in the replacement battery pack. Place the battery pack in the compartment with the battery cord resting on top of it.

4. Replace the battery cover by sliding it into place. Gently tighten the locking screw.

5. The new battery pack must be charged before using your telephone. Place the handset in the cradle of the base unit to allow it to charge for 16 hours. Maximum battery life between charges is more than 7 hours of continuous talk time or 6 days of standby.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury, read and follow these instructions:

1.Use only VTECH battery.

2.Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

3.Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

4.Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may explode.
