Getting Started - Audiovox DST 961 Owner Operating Instructions

Power Backup
-When a Spare Battery pack is installed in
the Ba§e Unit, the Audiovox DST961 uses
this battery to provide operational backup in
case of a power failure. If you have a fully
charged battery pack in the Spare Battery
charger and there is a power outage, you
will still be able to place and receive calls for
up to five hours.
Replacing a Drained Handset battery
The spare battery pa~ can also be used
to replace a drained H~dset battery pack
to ensure interrupted use. Be sure to put
the drained battery in the Spare Battery
charger for recharging.
Please note that the Spare battery pack
recharges at a slower rate than a battery
pack charging in the Handset. It takes 24
hours to fully charge a battery pack in the
Spare Battery charger.
