Preparing the battery packs

Charging the battery packs

The two supplied battery packs must be charged before you can use them. One should be inserted into the corcfless handset to operate it. The other ma\' remain in the base unit to allow for a continuous supply of fullv charged battery packs. Also, should any power interruption occur, the base unit battery will provide backup power during the interruption.
If a battery pack is brand new or completely discharged, it may take 10 minutes or more before the CHARGE lamp lights up.
7 Insert one of the supplied battery packs
completely into the charging compartment.
The CHARGE lamp on the base unit lights.

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 base unit's power supply is interrupted (for example, if power is cut off every night), then the battery will provide backup power, and will be discharged. Frequent charging and discharging will shorten the battery's life. If the base unit is not connected to a continuous power supply, the battery charged in the base unit will be effective for a shorter period of time than a fully charged battery pack when installed in the cordless handset.

Notes on charging

• The battery pack supplied uses a unic]ue leact acici battery which works best when recharged often. Unlike nickebcadmium
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.
