REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
4. 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.
To purchase replacement battery
packs, call VTECH Communications at
1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call
VTECH Electronics at 1-800-267-
7377.
SPARE BATTERY CHARGER
The VT1970ci has a built-in spare
Battery Charger, which is located in the
cradle of the Base Unit.
NOTE:
In order to benefit from this feature, you
must obtain an optional Spare Battery
from an authorized VTech dealer, or
by contacting VTech Customer Serv-
ice at 1-800-595-9511 in U.S. and 1-
800-267-7277 in Canada.
Installation
Remove the Spare Battery charger
cover by pressing the release tab and
lifting up.
vt1970ci/hjmannual
Place a battery pack in the Spare
Battery charger. Make sure the metal
charging contacts on the underside of
the battery pack are aligned with the
charging contacts in the Spare Battery
charger.
Power Backup
When a Spare Battery pack is installed
in the Base Unit, the VTech VT1970ci
uses this battery pack to provide
operational backup in case of a power
failure. If you have a fully charged
battery pack in the Spare Battery pack
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 pack can also be
used to replace a drained Handset
battery pack to ensure uninterrupted
use. Be sure to put the drained battery
pack in the Spare Battery charger for
recharging.
Please note that the Spare Battery
compartment charges 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.
