Battery Information
New batteries
The battery for a new 9p23 portable handset is not fully
charged. The battery should be fully charged prior to the
first use of the handset.
Battery use and care
A rechargeable battery has a long service life, if treated
properly.
• Do not leave a battery where it could be subjected to
extremely high temperatures, such as inside a car on a
hot day. This could reduce the battery’s capacity.
• Do not allow the metal contacts on the battery to touch
another metal object. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery.
• Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
• Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could
cause the battery to explode.
• Do not charge a battery when the ambient room
temperature is above 104°F or 40°C or below 41°F or
5°C.
• Do power the handset off before removing the battery.
• Do use only adapters provided by Ascom which
are supplied with the battery charger. Using a different
adapter could be dangerous and voids
the warranty.
