24.2.5 Replacing the Batteries
The handset is shipped with rechargeable batteries. However, if you need to replace them,
follow the procedure described in this section.
Warnings:
•
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect battery type; use
only the nickel-metal hydride cell (NiMH) rechargeable batteries as
provided with your phone. The manufacturer will not be held liable for
damage arising from such non-compliance.
•
Verify correct polarity of the batteries when inserting the batteries.
Incorrect polarity may damage the product.
•
The operation periods for the handset are only applicable with the
default battery capacities.
•
Do not use third-party charging bays to charge the batteries.
•
Do not immerse batteries in water and do not place in fire.
•
Do not mix old and new batteries.
•
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte from the
batteries is corrosive and may cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin.
The electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful if swallowed.
•
Do not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, or keys to
touch the batteries, otherwise a short circuit may cause the batteries
and/or the conductive material to overheat and cause burns.
•
Avoid touching the battery ends (+, -) or the base unit contacts.

To install the handset batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover, by sliding the cover out from the base of the
phone toward the top end (in the direction of the arrow label printed on the cover). You
can use your thumb to push at the base of the cover.
2. Remove the old batteries (if any) and then place the two batteries (supplied) into the
battery compartment, as indicated.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place.
