The Battery
The phone comes with a rechargeable battery. Keep the battery
charged while not in use in order to maximize talk and standby
time. The battery charge level is shown at the top of the LCD
screen.
Installing the Battery
To install the battery, insert the bottom of the battery into the
opening on the back of the phone. Push the battery down until
the latch clicks.
Removing the Battery
Turn the power off. Lift the release latch to detach the battery.
Charging the Battery
The desktop charger has a charging slot that accommodates
the phone with the battery attached or the battery by itself.
Warning! Use only the desktop charger provided with the
phone. Using any (desktop) charger other than the one
included with the VX4500 may damage your phone or battery.
1. Plug the charger into a wall outlet. The phone must be
charged from a 120V AC power source.
2. Insert the phone with an installed battery, or the battery by
itself, into the charging slot. The red light indicates the
battery is charging and the green light indicates the battery
is fully charged.
The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
The maximum charge time for a fully discharged battery is
3 hours.
NOTE: It is important to fully charge the battery before initial use
of the phone.
Battery Charge Level
The battery charge level is shown at the top right of the LCD
screen. When the battery charge level becomes low, the low
battery sensor alerts you in three ways: sounding an audible
tone, blinking the battery icon, and displaying
LOW BATTERY
WARNING! If the battery charge level becomes exceedingly low,
the phone automatically switches off and any function in
progress is not saved.
Turning the Phone On and Off
Turning the Phone On
1. Install a charged battery or connect the phone to an external
power source such as a cigarette lighter charger or hands-
free car kit.
2. Press for a few seconds until the LCD screen lights up.
Turning the Phone Off
1. Press and hold until the display turns off.
Signal Strength
Call quality depends on the signal strength in your area. The
signal strength is indicated on the screen as the number of bars
next to the signal strength icon: The more bars, the better the
signal strength. If the signal quality is poor, move to an open
area. If you are in a building, the reception may be better near a
window.
NOTE: Like any other radio device, avoid any unnecessary contact
with the antenna while your phone is on.
