Note
Do not connect the telephone line
cord to the phone socket until the
handset is fully charged.
This will prevent the risk of the phone
being answered before the batteries
are charged, which may prevent them
from reaching maximum capacity.
3 Connect the base unit
power supply to a power
socket
The green Power/In use light will come
on when the power is switched on.
The power supply unit must remain
plugged in all the time.
4 Charge the handset
Your handset comes with a
rechargeable battery pack pre-installed
but the battery pack will need
charging.
When you first use your Quartet 3100,
the rechargeable battery in the handset
needs charging for 24 hours.
Place the handset on the base unit,
ensuring the contacts are touching.
The red CHARGING light will come on.
The charging light will remain
constantly lit while the handset is
placed on the base unit, even when the
handset batteries are fully charged.
Note
When fully charged and in good
condition, the handset will provide up
to 7 hours talktime or 72 hours standby.
If you are making a call and the
handset battery is running low you
will hear a warning tone every
10-15 seconds.
Place the handset on the base unit to
recharge.
However, the charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will reduce with
time as they wear out, so reducing the
talk/standby time of the handset.
Eventually they will need to be replaced.
New batteries can be obtained from
the Helpline. Please see page 39 for
instructions on how to install a new
battery pack.
