Installation

Installing the Battery

1.Slide the battery cover off by gently pressing on the recessed area with a downward motion.

2.Unplug and remove the old battery. Do not dispose of the old battery in a trash compactor or fire - it could explode.

3.With the red and black wires at the bottom of the battery, angle the top of the battery into the compartment, under the claws. Next, press the lower end of the battery down, so it is held in place by the lower claw. Now, plug the connector into the socket, located below the battery. Slip the battery wires into the guide, located below and to the left of the socket.

5.The new battery must be charged before using your telephone. Place the handset in the base unit to allow it to charge for at least 16 hours.

Battery Care and Performance

After your battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

Operation

Operating time

 

 

While in use (talking)

up to 4 hours

 

 

While not in use (standby*)

up to 4 days

 

 

* 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.
