* Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.
• Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.
•Once the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again
until 
is displayed or flashes. This will maximize the battery life.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury, read and follow these instructions:
1.Use only the VTech battery supplied, or equivalent.
2.Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
3.Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
4.Do not dispose of the battery in a fire, it might explode.
