Tips on Extending Battery Pack Life

All rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. Batteries that have developed this effect do not operate to their fullest capacity.

To avoid memory effect, operate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged before recharging. For example, use the handset off the base all day. Only replace the handset on the base at night after a full day of use. Do not “top off” the charge after using the battery for a short time.

To erase memory effect, operate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged, then recharge it fully. Repeat this process at least three times.

When the battery pack in the handset is low and needs to be charged you see LOW BATT and the handset beeps.

Installing Optional Headset

The optional headset provides a hands-free option for the cordless digital telephone. Only use headsets especially designed or modified for use with radio frequency equipment. With the headset installed, you can use the belt clip to carry the handset and converse through the headset.

Open the cover over the headset jack and plug in the headset. All feature operations are the same as with the handset. When using the headset, the handset earphone and microphone are disconnected.
