Be sure to use the proper adapter for the base and any chargers.

Do not place the base in direct sunlight or subject it to high temperatures.

Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

Battery Information

Fully charged, the battery should provide about 10 hours of talk time and about 7 days of standby time. For best results, return the handset to the cradle after each call to keep it fully charged.

Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too low, the handset shows a low battery alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call, check the display: if you see the low battery alert, finish your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle. If the handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate.

With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace the battery when the talk time becomes short even when the battery is charged. To buy a replacement battery, call the Parts Department listed on the front cover.
