Recharging the BATTERY PACK
The nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) BATTERY PACK in the HANDSET can be recharged many times
using the built-in charger in the BASE UNIT.
When the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking on the LCD Screen, this indicates that
the BATTERY PACK needs to be recharged.
Charge the BATTERY PACK at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery failure.
When the BATTERY PACK can no longer be charged, replacement of the BATTERY PACK will
be necessary.
The BATTERY PACK used in your telephone may develop a condition known as “MEMORY.”
Once subjected to a regular short discharging routine, the BATTERY PACK assumes the
discharging pattern it was subjected to. This causes rapid discharging thereby shortening the
BATTERY PACK charge span. If you believe your BATTERY PACK has developed a
“MEMORY” condition, do not charge the HANDSET until the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR
starts blinking on the LCD Screen. When the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking on
the LCD Screen, then charge the HANDSET fully for 12 hours.
IMPORTANT
In order to get maximum life from the HANDSET
BATTERY PACK, be sure to charge the
HANDSET for 12 hours before initial use.
