Charging the Handset Battery
Pack
The handset of your VT 1421 cordless
telephone is powered by a rechargeable
battery pack. It charges automatically
whenever the handset is in the base.
You should charge the battery pack for
16 hours when you first receive your
phone. You’ll know the battery pack
needs recharging when:
• The phone emits a warning tone
when you press the PHONE key.
• The low battery message is
displayed on the handset:
THE BATTERY PACK
• The handset seems completely
dead; the display is clear and the
handset does not beep or light
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
recommended that the battery pack be
for at least 16 hours initially, and 8
hours for maintenance charging. 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
between charges is 7 hours of
continuous talk time or 7 days if
standby time.
Alternatively, if you have purchased a
spare battery pack and it has been
charging in the base unit, simply
exchange the drained handset battery
pack with the fully charged battery pack
from the base charger. Place the
drained handset battery pack in the
base charger.
The base spare battery charger does
not charge a battery pack as quickly
as the handset battery charger. A full
charge requires 24 hours when using
the base unit spare battery charger.
It is impossible to overcharge the
battery. The battery pack can be
recharged many times, but if you get
a low battery message even after 16
hours of charging in the base cradle
(or 24 hours in the base spare battery
charger), the battery pack(s) should be
replaced.
To purchase replacement battery
packs, call VTech Communications
at 1-800-595-9511.
A Word about Rechargeable
Batteries
Your battery pack recharges whenever
the handset is returned to the base unit
cradle. You may return the handset
to the cradle whenever it is not in use.
