Quartet 3500 User Guide ~ 5th Edition ~ 17th January ’03 ~ 4393

3Connect the base unit power supply to a power socket

The green Power/In use light will come on when the power is switched on.

The power supply unit must remain plugged in all the time.

Note

Do not connect the telephone line cord to the phone socket until the

handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the phone being answered before the batteries are charged, which may prevent them from reaching maximum capacity.

4Charge the handset

Your handset comes with a rechargeable battery pack pre-installed but the battery pack will need charging.

When you first use your Quartet 3500, the rechargeable battery pack in the handset needs charging for 24 hours.

Place the handset on the base unit, ensuring the contacts are touching.

The red CHARGING light will come on.

The charging light will remain constantly lit while the handset is placed on the base unit, even when the handset batteries are fully charged.

Note

When fully charged and in good condition, the handset will provide up to 7 hours talktime or 72 hours standby.

If you are making a call and the handset battery is running low you will hear a warning tone every 10-15 seconds.

Place the handset on the base unit to recharge.

However, the charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing the talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New battery packs can be obtained from the Helpline. Please see page 60 for instructions on how to install a new battery pack.
