BATTERY CHARGER COMPARTMENT
You can purchase a second nickel- cadmium battery to use as a back up. Just put the extra battery in the auxil- iary charger compartment, located in phone’s base, and you will always have a fully charged battery ready for use. To remove the battery charger compart- ment door, press the release right below the hook switch and lift off the door.
Always return the handset to the base for at least 10 seconds after installing a charged battery.
AUXILIARY POWER RESERVE
The spare battery also functions as a power back up. In the event of a power service interruption, the base will draw power from this battery and provide you with 4 hours of standby time and 2 hours of talk time.
