Sprint Nextel 1733 Cordless Telephone User Manual


 
The Handset of your Sprint
1733
cordless telephone is powered
by
a
rechargeable battery pack. It charges
automatically whenever the Handset
is in the Base Unit. You should charge
the battery pack for
16
hours when you
first receive your phone. You'll know
the battery pack needs charging when:
The low battery message is
displayed:
The Handset seems completely
dead, the LCD is completely clear
and does not activate when you
press the keys.
TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
PACK
To charge the battery pack, place the
Handset in the Base Unit. The
CHARGING indicator will light to show
the Handset is seated properly and the
battery pack is charging. It is recom-
mended that the battery pack be
charged for at least
16
hours initially.
Afterwards,
8
hours of maintenance
charging should be sufficient. You can
use your telephone before that with
diminished capacity, but it is best to
charge the battery pack fully. It will take
several recharge cycles to maximize
the charge capacity of your battery
pack. The maximum battery life be-
tween charges is
7
hours of continuous
talk time or
14
days of stand by.
Alternatively, if you have purchased
a spare battery pack and it has been
charging in the Base Unit, simply ex-
change the drained Handset battery
pack with the fully charged replace-
ment battery pack from the Base Unit
charger. Place the drained Handset
battery pack into the Base Unit charger
so that it will charge.
The
Base Unit spare battery charger
does NOT charge a battery pack as
quickly as the main Handset battery
charger. A full charge requires
24
hours.
A WORD ABOUT RECHARGE-
ABLE BAlTERlES
Your Ni-Cd battery pack recharges
whenever the Handset is returned to
the Base Unit.
IT'S
IMPOSSIBLE TO OVER-
CHARGE
THE
BATTERY PACK
The battery pack can be recharged
many times but if you get a low-battery
signal even after
8
hours of charging in
the Base Unit cradle (or
24
hours in the
Base Unit spare battery charger), the
battery
pack(s) should be replaced.

packs, call Sprint National Help
