Tips on Extending Battery Pack Life
All rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge
capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. Batteries that have
developed this effect do not operate to their fullest capacity.
➤ To avoid memory effect, operate the unit until the battery pack is completely
discharged before recharging. For example, use the handset off the base all day.
Only replace the handset on the base at night after a full day of use. Do not “top
off” the charge after using the battery for a short time.
➤ To erase memory effect, operate the unit until the battery pack is completely
discharged, then recharge it fully. Repeat this process at least three times.
When the battery pack in the handset is low and needs to be charged you see
LOW
BATT
and the handset beeps.
To restore your battery capacity, return the handset to the base unit for charging or
replace the handset battery pack with another charged one.
Installing Optional Headset
The optional headset provides a hands-free option for the cordless
digital telephone. Only use headsets especially designed or
modified for use with radio frequency equipment. With the
headset installed, you can use the belt clip to carry the handset and
converse through the headset.
➤ Open the cover over the headset jack and plug in the headset.
All feature operations are the same as with the handset. When
using the headset, the handset earphone and microphone are
disconnected.
