Charging the battery packs
Charge one of the supplied two battery packs for about 10 hours and
insert it in the cordless handset. Charge the other one so you can
exchange with the first one when the latter becomes discharged.
You may leave a battery pack in the charging compartment of the
base unit even if it is completely charged.

If a battery pack is brand new or
completely discharged, it may

2 Charge the battery pack for about 10 hours.
When charging is completed, the CHARGE lamp will go
off.
Note-------------------------------------------------------
Make sure that the base unit is connected to a continuous power
supply.
If the battery pack is charged for less than 10 hours due to a
power interruption, the battery will not be fully charged. It will,
therefore, be effective for a shorter period of time than a fully
charged battery pack.

compartment.
Press the lever on the base unit's charging compartment
to release the battery pack.
3 Replace the battery compartment lid.
Notes on charging------------------------------------------
• The battery pack supplied uses a unique lead acid battery which
works best when recharged often. Unlike nickel-cadmium
batteries, you do not need to wait until the battery becomes
weak to recharge.
• Avoid leaving the handset without charging the battery for an
extended period of time so that the battery runs down
completely. This can shorten the battery's life. If this happens,
recharge the battery. You may need to charge the battery
several times before it is recharged to its full capacity.
• When charging a battery pack which is completely discharged,
the battery lamps may not light up for a while (10 minutes or
less). There is nothing wrong with your telephone. Continue
charging.
