RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACKS
Charging the Handset batteries
The Handset of your
VTech 2960
cord-
less telephone is powered by a re-
chargeable battery pack. It charges
automatically whenever the Handset is
in the Base Unit cradle. You should
charge the battery pack for 16 hours
when you first receive your phone. You
will know the battery pack needs charg-
ing when:
• The phone emits a warning tone
when you press the a Line key.
• The “LOW BATTERY” message is
displayed on the LCD:
• The Handset seems completely
dead, the LCD is clear and the Hand-
set does not beep when you press
the keys.
To Charge The Battery Pack
To charge the battery pack, first install
battery pack in the Handset, then place
the Handset in the Base Unit. The
CHARGE indicator will light to show the
Handset is seated properly and the bat-
tery pack is charging. It is recom-
mended 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 standby time.
Spare Battery Charger
Alternatively, if you have purchased a
spare battery pack and it has been
charging in the base unit, simply ex-
change the drained Handset battery
pack with the fully charged replacement
battery pack from the spare battery
charger. Place the drained Handset
battery pack into the spare battery
charger so it will charge.
The base spare battery charger does
NOT charge a battery pack as quickly
as the main Handset charger. A full
charge requires 24 hours.
A Word About Rechargeable Batter-
ies
Your NiCad battery pack recharges
whenever the Handset is returned to the
Base Unit.
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERCHARGE
The battery pack can be recharged
many times but if you get a low battery
signal even after 8 hours of mainte-
nance charging in the base cradle (or
24 hours in the spare battery charger),
the battery pack(s) should be replaced.
