INSTALLATION (CONT.)

Handset Battery Charging

The battery pack in the handset must be fully charged for about 10-14 hours before using the telephone.

After connecting to AC power, leave the handset unused in the cradle for ten to fourteen hours. Later, it will take less time for the battery to recharge. The IN USE/ CHARGE LED on the base will be lit when the handset is in the cradle.

NOTE:

a.When the battery gets low, the LCD will show “BATTERY LOW” indicator, and the unit will beep every 10 seconds.

b.If the battery becomes low while you are on a call, you will be disconnected after about 3 minutes. Terminate the call quickly, and put the handset in the base to recharge the battery.

The battery will hold its charge for several days out of the cradle, depending on use.

To Replace Batteries

1.Remove battery cover.

2.Remove battery.

3.Plug the cord of the battery pack into the handset and place the battery in the case.

4.Slide battery cover until it clicks in place. Charge 10-14 hours before first use.

To maximize your battery’s life, we recommend that you periodically fully discharge the battery, and then recharge it. To do this, unplug your phone line cord from the wall phone jack. Press the TALK button, and allow the handset to remain on for 10 to 12 hours. Reconnect the phone cord to the wall phone jack. Return the handset to the base and allow it to fully charge for 12 hours. If this process is completed monthly, it will reduce the memory buildup that occurs from frequent partial charging.
