Charging the Handset Battery Pack

This battery should remain charged up to 15 days with the Ringer turned on and up to 30 days with the Ringer off. A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about 10 hours.

The battery pack needs charging when:

•A new battery is installed in the handset.

•The phone beeps four times when you press P.

•The phone does not respond when you press P.

Place the handset in the base either in the face-down or face-up position so the CHARGING/HANDSET IN USE light turns on. The battery pack is typically fully charged in six 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 six hours of charging, the battery should be replaced.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:

•Use only Replacement Battery 3300 (SKU# 90556).

•Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell might explode. Check with local codes for special disposal instructions.

•Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

•Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.

•Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.

2Lift out the old battery pack.

3Hold the new battery pack and plug the connector into the handset. Place the battery pack into the case.

4Replace the cover by sliding it on its track up over the battery case until it snaps firmly into place.

5The new battery pack must be charged before using the phone. Place the handset face up or face down in the base and allow it to charge for at least

12 hours the first charge (after that, the battery will quick-charge in only six hours). The telephone might operate before that, but for best performance, let the battery pack charge fully.
