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

Unplug the white connector and remove the old battery pack.

Plug the new battery pack connector in and lower the battery pack into recess then replace lid.

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 batteries can be obtained from the Helpline on 0870 605 8047.

Note (cont)

To get the longest possible life from your battery, take the handset off the base unit for a few hours each day.

Call security

Your Quartet 3500 has its own digital security code that prevents other cordless phone owners from using your phone line. This ensures that you are charged only for calls using your phone. However, all approved cordless phones use radio signals to communicate between the base unit and cordless handset units. It is therefore possible that your conversations could be overheard by other people, on their cordless phones, or on ordinary radios that use the same radio frequencies.

As this problem applies equally to all similar cordless phones currently available in the UK, call privacy cannot be guaranteed. However, the security coding prevents unauthorised use of your line.
