Curtis TC972 - Manual (Page 15)

The nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) Battery Pack in the Handset can be recharged many times
using the built-in charger in the Base Unit.
When the BATT LOW LED indicator starts to blink rapidly, a “beep” sound will be heard every 12
seconds. This indicates that the Battery Pack needs to be recharged.
Charge the Battery Pack at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery failure. When
the Battery Pack can no longer be charged, replacement of the Battery Pack will be necessary.
NOTES:
1. During a power interruption, the Base Unit does not operate, and a phone conversation
cannot be made on the Handset.
2. To ensure your phone charges properly, make sure that the CHARGE LED indicator on
the BASE UNIT lights up and a “beep” confirmation tone is heard.

The Battery Pack provides power for the Handset of your cordless telephone.
To Replace the Battery Pack

Pack is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may
be illegal to dispose of this Battery Pack into the municipal waste stream. Check with your
