POWER BACKUP FUNCTION
When the Spare Battery pack is
installed in the Base Unit, the CB 1733

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 on the CB 1733
Handset for up to 4 hours.
The Spare Battery pack can also be
used to replace a drained Handset
battery to ensure uninterrupted use.
Be sure to put the drained battery pack
in the Spare Battery charger.
