REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
Charging The Handset Battery Pack
The handset of your VTech VT 1930c
cordless telephone is powered by a
rechargeable battery pack. It charges
automatically whenever the handset is
in the base. You should charge the
battery pack for 16 hours when you first
receive your phone. YouÕll know the
battery pack needs charging when:
¥Ê The phone emits a warning tone
when you press the PHONE key.
¥ The low battery message is
displayed:
Alternatively, if you have purchased a
spare battery pack and it has been
charging in the base unit, simply
exchange the drained handset battery
pack with the fully charged replace-
ment battery pack from the base
charger. Place the drained handset
battery pack into the base charger to
recharge.
The base spare battery charger does
NOT charge a battery pack as quickly
as the handset battery charger. A full
charge requires 24 hour when using
the spare battery charger.
It's Impossible To Overcharge The
Battery Pack
The battery pack can be recharged
many times, but if you get a low battery
message even after 16 hours of
charging in the base cradle (or 24
hours in the base spare battery
charger), the battery pack(s) should be
replaced.
To purchase replacement battery
packs, call VTECH Communications
at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call
VTECH Electronics at 1-800-267-
7377.
A Word About Rechargeable Batter-
ies
Your Nicad battery pack recharges
whenever the Handset is returned to
the Base Unit cradle. You may return
the Handset to its cradle whenever
you're not using the phone.
However, to maximize the life of your
battery pack, do not return your VT
1930c Handset to the Base Unit cradle
for recharging until the LOW BATTERY
message is displayed.
¥ The handset seems completely
dead, the display is clear and the
handset does not beep when you
press the keys.
To Charge The Battery Pack
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset in the base unit. The
CHARGING indicator will light to show
the handset is seated properly and the
battery pack is charging. It is
recommended that the battery pack be
charged for at least 16 hours initially
and 8 hours for maintenance charging.
You can use your telephone before
that with diminished capacity, but it is
best to charge the battery pack fully.
It will take several recharge cycles to
maximize the charge capacity of your
battery pack. The maximum battery
life between charges is 7 hours of
continuous talk time or 7 days of stand-
by.
