Charging of the Handset Battery Cells
The Handset of your cordless telephone is powered by rechargeable battery cells. It
charges automatically whenever the Handset is in its charger or Base Unit.
You should charge the battery pack for 10-12 hours when you first receive
your phone.
You will know the battery cells need 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.
NOTE: When in LOW BATTERY mode, the keypad sounds, backlighting and
speakerphone features will not work. When your battery has been charged,
your features will return to their normal function.
IMPORTANT:
1. Do not dispose of battery cell in a fire, the cell may explode.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery cell. Toxic substances may be released,
causing harm to eyes or skin.
3. Exercise care in handling battery cell in order to prevent an accidental short
of the charge contacts, potentially causing the battery pack to overheat.
