NOTE: It is recommended that
Talk Pak batteries be charged in
the front pocket.
The battery in the front pocket has
priority and if it is in range, is rapid
charged first. Once the rapid charge
of the front pocket battery is complete, the charger switches to rapid
charge of the second battery.
Each pocket of the IntelliCharge™ XT Rapid Charger has its own
multi-color lamp to indicate that the battery and/or telephone have
been properly placed in the charger pocket and that the battery is
either rapid charging (red) or trickle charging (green). A flashing yel-
low lamp indicates that the battery is out of range for a rapid charge,
or waiting for the battery in the priority pocket to be charged first.
To protect the battery, rapid charging halts prior to reaching full
charge and trickle charging begins. Leave the slim and standard
batteries in the IntelliCharge™ XT Rapid Charge for two additional
hours to reach full capacity, three additional hours for an Extra
Capacity battery.
Batteries will not rapid charge when they are below 50°F (10°C) or
above 113°F (45°C). In addition, new batteries (or batteries which
have been stored without use) may not rapid charge. In these
instances, the charger light will turn green within one minute, indi-
cating the need for overnight charging. Leave the slim and standard
batteries in for 10 hours to reach full capacity. New batteries may
take up to five discharge/overnight recharge cycles before reaching
maximum capacity.
NOTE: If you have an IntelliCharge™ Rapid Charger and an
Overnight Dual Charger, be certain to plug each charger's trans-
former into the proper base. They are not interchangeable.
