About the Handset Batteries

You will know the batteries need charging when:
The phone beeps two times when
you press to answer or make a call.
The MUTE/LOW BATT indicator
on the handset flashes.
The phone does not respond when
you press and the PHONE indicator does not go on.

Charging the Handset Batteries

Place the handset in the base so the IN USE/CHARGE indicator goes on. The batteries will be fully charged in 6 hours. Once the batteries are fully charged, you need only put the handset in the base when the MUTE/LOW BATT indicator flashes.
If it is more convenient for you to do so, you can leave the handset in the base all the time. It is impossible to overcharge the batteries.
If the batteries don’t charge properly:
If you get a low-battery signal even after 6 hours of charging, the battery should be replaced.
CAUTION: To reduce the
risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully.
Use only Replacement Battery
3470.
Do not dispose of the battery
in a fire. The cell might explode. Check with local codes for special disposal instructions.
Do not open or mutilate the
battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
Exercise care in handling batteries
in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
Charge the battery provided with
or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
Observe proper polarity orientation
between the battery and battery charger.

Replacing the Battery Pack

1 Remove the battery compartment
cover on the handset by pressing on the indentation and sliding the cover downward.
2 Lift out the old battery pack. 3 Place the new battery pack in the
compartment. Make sure the metal contacts on the underside of the battery are aligned with the charging contacts in the battery compartment.
4 Replace the cover by sliding it
on its track up over the battery compartment until it snaps firmly in place.
5 The new batteries must be charged
before using your telephone. Place the handset in the base unit and allow it to charge for 6 hours. The telephone may operate before that but, for best performance, let the batteries charge fully.

Power Reserve

The Cordless Telephone 9110 has the ability to provide back-up power to the telephone base in the event of a power failure. For this feature to work, it is necessary to have a fully charged spare battery (PURCHASED SEPARATELY) installed in the base unit Spare Battery Charger (located under the directory card on the tele­phone base unit). If a power failure or interruption occurs, the Cordless Telephone 9110 will automatically
switch into the Power Reserve mode. When operating in the Power Reserve mode, the phone’s features and functions should operate normal­ly until the spare battery charge has been depleted. When power is restored to the telephone base unit, the phone will automatically switch back to its normal operating mode.
IMPORTANT: The amount of time the Cordless Telephone 9110 will operate during a power failure will vary depending on use and spare battery charge level.

Spare Battery Charger

The Cordless Telephone 9110 is equipped with a spare battery charger built into the base unit. The spare battery charger allows you to always have a charged battery available, should your handset battery discharge during normal use.
To install the Spare Battery Pack (PURCHASED SEPARATELY):
1 Open the base unit battery
compartment.
2 Place the spare battery pack in
the battery compartment. Make sure the metal contacts on the underside of the battery are aligned with charging contacts in the battery compartment.
3 Replace the battery compartment
cover.
4 When the battery is installed
properly, the SPARE BATTERY indicator on the base unit will be illuminated.
5 The spare battery will be fully
charged after 16 hours. Please note that the SPARE BATTERY indicator will always be illuminat­ed when a spare battery is installed.

Make sure the base antenna is
upright.
You may be out of range. Move
closer to the base.
Household appliances plugged
into the same circuit as the base can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base to another outlet.

Disconnect the base from the tele-
phone jack, and plug in a regular telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local phone company.

If you hear noise in the handset, and the buttons don’t work:

Make sure the power cord is
plugged in, and make sure the base antenna is upright.
If you are unable to operate special telephone services or other equip­ment requiring touch tone signals:
If you have dial pulse (rotary) ser-
vice, press on the handset before entering information (see “Temporary Tone”).
The tones generated by this
phone may not be long enough to activate some services or equipment. You might need to use a different touch tone phone.

If you have difficulty entering numbers into Memory:

Review “Programming a Number
into Memory” to make sure you are pressing the correct sequence of buttons.
If the number is more than 20
digits long, make sure you follow the instructions for “Programming a Number into Memory.”
Make sure you have followed all the instructions in this booklet. If you continue to have problems, call 1 800 722-9125.
