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 BATT LOW LED indicator starts to blink rapidly, a “beep”sound will be heard every 12
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 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 BATT LOW LED indicator comes on. When it does come on, 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.
