Installation
Installing the Battery
1. Slide the battery cover off by gently pressing on the recessed area with a
downward motion.
2. Unplug and remove the old battery. Do not dispose of the old battery in a
trash compactor or fire - it could explode.
3. With the red and black wires at the bottom of the battery, angle the top of
the battery into the compartment, under the claws. Next, press the lower

Battery Care and Performance
After your battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
Operation
While in use (talking)
While not in use (standby*)
* Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.
• Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or
charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the
handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on
the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how
often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.
• Once the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again
until is displayed or flashes. This will maximize the battery life.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury, read and follow these
instructions:
1. Use only the VTech battery supplied, or equivalent.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
3. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause burns.
4. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire, it might explode.
