Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging contacts on the Handset and Base Unit
about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. Do not use any liquids or solvents.
Charging the Battery Pack
Initial Battery Charging
The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack must be fully charged before using your phone for the
first time. We recommend that the battery pack charge for approximately 15-20 hours, without interrup-
tion, before plugging the phone into your new phone.
1. Place the Handset on the Base Unit. Either
place the Handset with ear piece in the cradle
- OR -
Place the Handset in the cradle with it standing on
end (desk mount only).
Note: Make sure to change the Handset Retainer
before hanging up the phone (wall mounted bases).
Battery Memory Effect
Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge
and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter everytime you use the unit.
To Avoid this Memory Effect
At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator appears. Then recharge the bat-
tery for a full 15-20 hours. Avoid putting the Handset back in the base after using the phone for a short
time. This could cause “topping off” the charge. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extend-
ed period of time.
