Recharging the BATTERY PACK

Battery Type
Use the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:
Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK
3.6V, 800mAh
U.S. Electronics Inc.
Ni-Cd BATTERY PACK: Model B658
This BATTERY PACK is available through:
U.S. Electronics Service Center
105 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10016
1-800-828-5208
NOTE:
1. During a power interruption, the BASE UNIT does not operate, and a phone
conversation cannot be made on the HANDSET.
Recharging the BATTERY PACK
The nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) BATTERY PACK in the HANDSET can be recharged many times
using the built-in charger in the BASE UNIT.
When the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking on the LCD Screen, a "beep" sound
will be heard every 10 seconds. This indicates that the BATTERY PACK needs to be recharged.
Charge the BATTERY PACK at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery failure.
When the BATTERY PACK can no longer be charged, replacement of the BATTERY PACK will
be necessary.
The BATTERY PACK used in your telephone may develop a condition known as "MEMORY."
Once subjected to a regular short discharging routine, the BATTERY PACK assumes the
discharging pattern it was subjected to. This causes rapid discharging thereby shortening the
BATTERY PACK charge span. If you believe your BATTERY PACK has developed a "MEMORY"
condition, do not charge the HANDSET until the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking
on the LCD Screen. When the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking on the LCD
Screen, then charge the HANDSET fully for 12 hours.
In order to get maximum life from the HANDSET
