REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
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 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. In Canada, call
VTECH Electronics at 1-800-267-
7377.
A WORD ABOUT RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES
Your Ni-Cd battery pack recharges
whenever the Handset is returned to
the Base Unit cradle. You may return
the Handset to its cradle whenever
you're not using the phone.
However, to
maximize
the life of your
battery pack, do not return your
VT1922
Handset to the Base Unit
cradle for recharging unit the LOW
BATTERY indication appers.
CHARGING THE HANDSET
BATTERY PACK
The handset of your VTech VT 1922
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 charging
when:
The phone emits a warning tone
when you press the PHONE key.
The low battery message is
displayed:
The handset seems completely
dead, the LCD is clear and the
handset does not beep when you
press the keys.
To Charge The Battery Pack
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset in the base unit. The
CHARGE indicator will light to show
the handset is seated properly and
the battery pack is charging. It is
recommended that the battery pack
be charged 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 of stand by.
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 replace-
ment battery pack from the base
charger. Place the drained handset
battery pack into the base charger to
recharge.
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 spare battery charger.
