Clarity CLS 45i - Manual (Page 16)

To maximize the battery charge, place the
handset back into the cradle when not in use
and each night.
When out of the cradle, the battery typically
holds a charge for several days, depending
upon use.
Maximizing Handset Battery Life
To maximize the battery life, fully discharge
the battery and recharge it occasionally.
Simply unplug your telephone line cord from
the wall telephone jack.
Press TALK and allow the handset to remain
on for 10 to 14 hours.
Then, reconnect the phone cord to the wall
telephone jack.
Return the handset to the base and allow it to
fully charge for 12 hours.
Doing this process monthly reduces the
memory buildup that occurs from frequent,
partial charging.
Monitoring the Level of the
Backup Batteries in the Base
Chart 1 indicates how to read the lights and
indicators on the base to determine the status
of the batteries and AC power.
Connecting Your
Telephone
Set the dial mode switch to T (tone) if you
have touch tone service. Set the switch to P
(pulse) if you have rotary dialing.
You may connect your telephone for desktop
use or mounted on a wall.
• Raise the antenna on the base.
• Plug the other end of the telephone cord
into the telephone wall jack.
• Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V
AC wall outlet.
Note: Use only with the #950 AC adapter
supplied by Ameriphone.
CAUTION: Place the telephone and
power cords where they will not
interfere with movement, be dam-
aged or create a fire or other electri-
cal hazard.
