Note that your handset will consume power both during talk time (when the handset is turned on) and during
standby time (when the handset is turned off, but out of the battery charger). The following chart illustrates
typical power usage:
If the new battery does not give you full talk time as shown in the table above, refresh the battery several times
until the full talk time returns.
As a guideline, you can expect a 1-hour reduction in talk time for every 7 hours of standby time. Similarly, you
can expect a 7-hour reduction in standby time for every hour of talk time.
It is recommended that you purchase a second battery pack to use as a spare. With the spare battery pack in the
spare battery compartment of the battery charger, you are assured of always having a fresh, usable battery pack.
The following steps will ensure an uninterrupted supply of power to your MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone:
• If you have only one battery pack, be sure to refresh it at least once a week. You
can refresh it by:
~ Placing it in the spare battery compartment of the battery charger.
~ Leaving it in the handset, placing the handset in the handset cradle of the
battery charger, and pressing the REFRESH button.
• If you have two battery packs, exchange them between the handset and the spare
battery compartment at least once a week, so each battery pack is automatically
refreshed. (Alternate the battery packs even if the handset battery never flashes
the Battery icon in the handset display to indicate a low battery condition.)
• The average battery life for both the standard and the extended battery packs is
approximately one year, assuming that the battery is discharged and charged once
a day. If the battery packs are discharged and charged twice a day, the life
expectancy is approximately six months.
Note: Depending on the level of memory effect that the battery pack has, it is
sometimes necessary to refresh the battery pack twice:
Insert the battery pack in the spare battery compartment of the battery
charger and leave it there until the SPARE LED is steady green. Remove
the battery pack from the charger, then reinsert it, and leave it until the
SPARE LED is steady green a second time.
Or, with the battery pack in the handset, insert the handset in the handset
cradle, press REFRESH, and leave it there until the HANDSET LED is
steady green. Remove the handset from the handset cradle, then reinsert
it, press REFRESH again, and leave it until the HANDSET LED is
steady green a second time.
