VTech 9126 - Manual (Page 6)

6
The Handset of your VT 9123/9126 is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It charges
automatically whenever the Handset is in the Base Unit. The battery pack needs charging
when:
• The low battery icon and message are displayed:
• A double beep will be generated every 5 seconds.
To charge the battery pack, place the Handset in the Base Unit. The IN USE/CHARGE
indicator will light to show the Handset is seated properly and the battery pack is charging. It
is recommended that the battery pack should be charged for at least 16 hours initially.
Afterwards, 8 hours of maintenance charging should be sufficient.
To replace the battery pack, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery case cover by pressing on the ridged lines and sliding downward.
2. Discard the old battery pack by pulling firmly on the battery cords. Don’t put the old
battery pack in a trash compactor or a fire - it could burst. Please recycle.
3. Snap in the new battery pack, with the wires in the lower left corner. Insert the battery
plug into the socket, aligning the two holes in the plug with the socket pins.
4. Place the cord in the case so it rests below the battery pack.
5. Replace the battery case cover by sliding the cover
upwards.
6. Place the Handset in the cradle of the Base Unit to allow
it to charge for 16 hours.
