Recharging the Battery Pack
Battery Type
Use the following type and size of Battery Pack:
Cordless Telephone Battery Pack
3.6V, 600mAh
Ni-Mh Battery Pack
NOTES: During a power interruption, the Base Unit does not operate, and a phone
conversation cannot be made on the Handset.
Recharging the Battery Pack
The nickel cadmium (Ni-Mh) Batter Pack in the Handset can be recharged many times using the
built-in charger in the Base Unit.
When the Battery Charge Indicator appears with two bars blinking on the LCD Screen, a “beep”
sound will be heard every 10 seconds. 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 appears with two bars blinking on the LCD
Screen. When the Battery Charge Indicator appears with two bars blinking on the LCD Screen,
then charge the Handset fully for 12 hours.
