Recharging the Battery Pack

Battery Type

Use the following type and size of battery pack:
Cordless Telephone Battery Pack
3.6V, 600mAh
Ni-Cd Battery Pack

Recharging the Battery Pack

The nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery pack in the handset can be recharged many
times using the built-in charger in the base unit.
When the BATTERY LOW indicator starts to blink, a “beep”sound will be heard
every12 seconds. This indicates that the battery pack needs to be recharged.
Charge the battery pack at least once every 90 days of nonuse to avoid battery
failure. When the battery pack can no longer be charged, replacement of the battery
pack will be necessary.
The battery pack used in your telephone may develop a condition known as
“MEMORY”. Once subjected to a regular short discharging routine, the battery
assumes the discharging pattern it was subjected to. This is known as a “MEMORY”
condition which causes rapid discharging thereby shortening the battery pack charge
span. If you believe your battery pack has developed a memory condition, do not
charge the handset until the BATTERY LOW LED indicator comes on. When it does
come on, charge the handset fully for 12 hours.
