SPARE BATTERY CHARGER / POWER BACKUP FUNCTION
When the Spare Battery pack is installed in the Base Unit, the Sprint cordless phone uses this battery to provide operational backup in case of a power failure. If you have a fully charged battery pack in the Spare Battery charger and there is a power outage, you will still be able to place and receive calls on the Sprint cordless phone Handset for up to 4 hours.
The Spare Battery pack can also be used to replace a drained Handset battery to ensure uninterrupted use. Be sure to put the drained battery pack in the Spare Battery charger.
