battery. Slip the battery wires into the
wire guide, located below and to the
left of the socket.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord
will be abused by persons walking on it.
4. Replace the battery cover by sliding
it into place.
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
5. The new battery pack must be charged before using your telephone. Place
the handset in the cradle of the base unit to allow it to charge for 16 hours.
Maximum battery life between charges is more than 4.5 hours of continuous
talk time or 6 days of standby.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury, read and follow these instructions:
1. Use only VTECH battery pack supplied, or equivalent..
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
3. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause burns.
4. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may explode.
10.To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. If service or repair
work is required, contact VTech Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511. Opening or
removing cabinet parts other than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous
voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the
appliance is subsequently used.
11.Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or
electric shock.
12.Unplug this product from the wall outlet:
a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b) If liquid has been spilled into the product.
The RBRC™ Seal
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
The RBRC® Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery indicates that
VTech Communications, Inc. is voluntarily participating in an industry
program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their
useful lives, when taken out of service within the United States and
Canada.
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, because improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
to restore the product to normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped and the cabinet has been damaged.
f) If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-
cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which may be illegal in
your area.
13.Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
VTech’s participation with RBRC® makes it easy for you to drop off the spent
battery at local retailers participating in the RBRC® program or at authorized
VTech product service centers. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY™ for information
on Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal bans / restrictions in your area. VTech’s
