Sprint Nextel 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum Dual Keypad Cordless Phone with Caller ID/Call Waiting - Manual (Page 10)

10 Installation
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment.
3. Plug the bat-
tery pack's con-
nector into the
socket in the
compartment,
(the connector
fits only one
way), replace the battery pack, and
replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the hand-
set either faceup or facedown on the base.
The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the base
lights and
Total:00 appears.
Note: Be sure the battery is properly con-
nected before you try to charge it. The
CHARGE/IN USE indicator flashes when the
handset is on the base with the battery not
connected.
Recharge the battery pack when Low Bat-
tery flashes.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery pack,
the phone might not work and you might
hear a beep when you press
TALK .
Return the handset to the base for about
5 seconds to reset the security access-
protection code.
• If the base loses power for 60 minutes
while the handset is away from it or the
the handset’s battery pack is completely
discharged, the security access-protec-
tion code might be lost. To reset the
code, return the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and base
about once a month.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds and
Low Battery flashes. When
this happens, you cannot make a call
until you recharge the battery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery by keeping the handset off the
base until
Low Battery flashes. Oth-
erwise, the battery pack loses its ability
to fully recharge.
• If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be too
low to light the display.)
• If you are not going to use your phone
for an extended period of time, discon-
nect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack's usable life.
The supplied battery pack should last about
a year. If the battery pack does not hold a
charge for more than 2 hours after an over-
night charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt,
600 mAh battery pack with a connector that
fits the socket in the battery compartment.
You can order a replacement battery pack
through your local RadioShack store. Install
the new battery pack and charge it for about
24 hours.
Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it
(see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 6
for additional information on proper battery
handling).
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local
RadioShack for assistance.
