Battery installation & charging

After installing the battery, you may be able to make or receive short calls. For 

best performance, place the handset in the telephone base to charge for 16 

hours before use. 
You can keep the battery charged by returning the handset to the telephone 

base after use. When the battery is fully depleted, a recharge takes about 12 

hours. The average talk time on a fully charged battery is about five hours, and 

the standby time is approximately six days. Actual battery life depends on usage 

conditions and age of battery.

Choose a central location close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not connected 
to a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on a 
standard wall plate. For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base 
in a high and open location.

Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:

•  Communication devices such as: personal computers, computer routers, television 

sets, VCRs, wireless routers (wireless broadband, wi-fi, or 802.11) or other cordless 
telephones.

•  Excessive heat sources.
•  Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave ovens, 

refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.

•  Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
•  Excessive moisture.
•  Extremely low temperature.
•  Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of the washing machine or work 

bench.

1.  Insert the plug as indicated. Be sure to 

securely insert the plug, making sure that 

it matches the color-coded label inside the 

battery compartment.

2.  Place the battery and wires inside the com-

partment.

3.  Slide the battery compartment cover up until 

it clicks.

NOTE: 

Under normal conditions, the bat-

tery should last around one year. This may vary 

depending on usage.
