Charge the Handset Battery Pack
•This battery should remain charged up to six days with the ringer turned on and up to 12 days with the ringer off. A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about six hours.
•The battery pack needs charging when:
—A new battery is installed in the handset.
—The phone beeps twice every 5 seconds.
—The screen displays BATTERY LOW and the low battery icon.
•Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light turns on. The battery pack is typically fully charged in eight hours.
•You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the base after each use.
•If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after charging overnight, the battery should be replaced. Use VTECH Battery.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:

Replacing the Handset Battery Pack
1Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset by pressing on the indentation and sliding the cover downward.
2Lift out the old battery pack and disconnect.
3Align the two holes in the new battery pack’s plug with the socket pins, and snap the plug into place. Place the battery pack in the compartment with the wires in the lower left corner, along the bottom of the battery pack.
4Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.
5The new battery pack must be charged before using the phone. Place the handset in the base and allow it to charge for at least 12 hours the first charge. The telephone might operate before that, but for best performance, let the battery pack charge fully.
