Charging 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 when you press P.
•The phone light flashes slowly.
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 eight hours of charging, the battery should be replaced. Use only Replacement battery 3301 (SKU# 91076).
CAUTION: Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this product only in accor- dance with the instructions and limitations specified in the User’s Manual, Part 1.
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.
3Plug battery pack connector into handset. Place the battery pack and wires in the compartment.
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 24 hours the first charge. The telephone might operate before that, but for best performance, let the battery pack charge fully.
O P E R A T I N G R A N G E
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully upright.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press P. Move closer to the base, then press Pto answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing O, your phone will be left “off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically pressing O.
