Prepare the Battery for Initial Use

The nickel-cadmium or nickel metal hydride battery supplied with your
telephone must be fully charged before placing your phone into service.
The batteries are shipped from the factory in a discharged state in order
to extend the life of the battery.  It is recommended that you charge new
batteries overnight, but not longer than 24 hours using the AC charger
supplied with your phone.

WARNING:   Battery may explode if exposed to fire.

CAUTION:   To avoid damage to the batteries, do not place them anywhere
           that might cause the battery terminals to short together.

Attach the Battery

1.  Place the battery pack on the phone so that its grooves align.  Align
    the top of the battery with the line on the back of the phone right
    below the arrows.

2.  Slide upward in the direction of the arrows on the back of the phone
    until it clicks into place.

Remove the Battery

Standard Method

1.  Turn your telephone off.

2.  Depress the latch button on the rear of the battery and slide the
    battery pack downward until it stops.

3.  Lift the battery off.

Internal Charging

With the battery attached, turn the phone off and use the AC wall adapter
to plug into the receptacle on the bottom left side of your phone.  A
charging LED will light to indicate the charger is connected.  Note the
following charge times:

Battery Type                Hours to 90% Capacity

NiCd Slim                   4.5 hrs.

NiCd Slim Extra Capacity    5.6 hrs.

NiCd Standard               7 hrs.

NiCd Extra Capacity         10.5 hrs.

NiHM Slim                   4.5 hrs.

NiHM Slim Extra Capacity    6.5 hrs.

NiHM Extra Capacity         11  hrs.

NOTE:  Operating the phone extends the time required to recharge the
       battery.  The phone will not operate unless the battery is at least
       partially charged.

Quick Change Battery Removal/Replacement

The quick change method allows you to remove your telephone battery at any
time and replace it with a charged spare battery during a telephone call.

This is especially useful if you receive the LOM Battery message or audible
tone during a call.  Simply remove the battery from the telephone, put on
the spare battery, and press PWR.  This will return you to your telephone
call.  The phone will not go through the normal power-up cycle.  You will
only have five seconds to complete this action before your telephone call
is terminated.  It is a good idea to practice this procedure a few times
before using it on an actual phone call.  Advise the party on the other end
of the call before beginning this procedure.
