Charging the Battery Pack

Initial Battery Charging

The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack must be fully charged before using your phone for the first time. We recommend that the battery pack charge for approximately 15-20 hours, without interruption, before plugging the phone line into your new phone.

1. Place the Handset on the Base Unit. Either place the Handset facedown in the cradle

Battery Memory Effect

Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter every time you use the unit.

To Avoid this Memory Effect

At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator begins flashing. Then recharge the battery for a full 15 - 20 hours. Avoid putting the handset back in the base after using the phone for a short time. And, if possible, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.

—OR—

Place the Handset in the cradle with it standing on end (desk mount only) .

Note: Make sure to change the Handset Retainer before hanging up the phone (wall mounted bases).
