Changing The Battery; Battery Safety Precautions - GE 27956FE1 User Manual

Changing the Battery

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use
only the Thomson Inc. approved Nickel-metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
battery model 5-2734, that is compatible with this unit.
1. Make sure the telephone is OFF (not in TALK mode) before you replace battery.
. Remove the battery compartment door; push and hold the release button on the
handset and slide the back up and off.
. Disconnect the battery plug from the jack inside the battery compartment and
remove the battery pack from the handset.
4. Insert the new battery pack and connect the cord to the jack inside the battery
compartment.
5. Put the battery compartment door back on.
6. Place handset in the base or handset charge cradle to charge. Allow the handset
battery to properly charge (for 14 hours) prior to first use or when you
install a new battery pack. If you do not properly charge the phone, battery
performance will be compromised.

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Remove batteries if storing over 0 days.
NOTE: The RBRC seal on the battery used in your Thomson Inc. product
