REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
Charging The Handset Battery
Pack
The Handset of your VT 1962 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 replacement
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.
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.
