Charging the handset batteries
The handset of your VTech VT 191 0c
cordless telephone is powered by a
rechargeable battery pack. It charges
automatically whenever the handset is
in the base. You should charge the
battery pack for
16 hours when you first
receive your phone. You'll know the
battery pack needs charging when:
The phone beeps when you press
the PHONE key.
The low battery message is
displayed:
exchange the drained handset battery
pack with the fully charged replace-
ment battery pack from the base
charger. Place the drained handset
battery pack into the base charger so
that it- will charge.
The base spare battery charger does
NOT charge a battery PACK as quicklv
as the main handset battery charge;.
A full charge requires
24 hours.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO OVER-
CHARGE THE BAlTERY PACK
The battery pack can be recharged
many times but if you get a low-battery
signal even after
8 hours of charging
in the base cradle (or
24 hours in the
base spare batterycharger), the battery
pack(s) should be replaced.
The handset seems completely
dead, the LCD is completely clear
and the handset does not beep
when you press the keys.
To purchase replacement battery
packs, call VTECH Communications at
1-800-624-5688. In Canada, call

To Charge The Battery Pack
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset in the base unit. The CHARGE
indicator will light to show the handset
is seated properly and the battery pack
is charging. It is recommended that the
battery pack be charged for at least
8
hours. You can use your telephone
before that with diminished capacity,
but it is best to charge the battery fully.
It will take several recharge cycles to
maximize the charge capacity of your
batterypack. The maximum battery life
between charges is
7 hours of
continuous talk time or
7 days of stand
by.
Alternatively, if you have purchased a
Spare battery pack and it has been
charging in the base unit, simply
