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, which is compatible with this
unit.
1. Make sure the telephone is OFF (not in Talk mode) before you replace
battery.
2. Remove the battery compartment door.
3. 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.
Battery Safety Precautions
• Do not burn, disassemble, mutilate, or puncture. Like other batteries of

• To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the Nickel-metal
Hydride battery listed in the User’s Guide.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Remove batteries if storing over 30 days.
