RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACKS

Charging the Handset batteries

The Handset of your VTech 2960 cord- less telephone is powered by a re- chargeable battery pack. It charges automatically whenever the Handset is in the Base Unit cradle. You should charge the battery pack for 16 hours when you first receive your phone. You will know the battery pack needs charg- ing when:

•The phone emits a warning tone when you press the a Line key.

•The “LOW BATTERY” message is displayed on the LCD:

•The Handset seems completely dead, the LCD is clear and the Hand- set does not beep when you press the keys.

To Charge The Battery Pack

To charge the battery pack, first install battery pack in the Handset, then place the Handset in the Base Unit. The CHARGE indicator will light to show the Handset is seated properly and the bat- tery pack is charging. It is recom- mended that the battery pack be charged for at least 16 hours initially and 8 hours for maintenance charging. You can use your telephone before that with diminished capacity, but it is best to charge the battery pack fully. It will take several recharge cycles to maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack. The maximum battery life between charges is 7 hours of continuous talk time or 7 days of standby time.

Spare Battery Charger

Alternatively, if you have purchased a spare battery pack and it has been charging in the base unit, simply ex- change the drained Handset battery pack with the fully charged replacement battery pack from the spare battery charger. Place the drained Handset battery pack into the spare battery charger so it will charge.

The base spare battery charger does NOT charge a battery pack as quickly as the main Handset charger. A full charge requires 24 hours.

A Word About Rechargeable Batter- ies

Your NiCad battery pack recharges whenever the Handset is returned to the Base Unit.

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERCHARGE The battery pack can be recharged many times but if you get a low battery signal even after 8 hours of mainte- nance charging in the base cradle (or 24 hours in the spare battery charger), the battery pack(s) should be replaced.
