SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
REPLACING THE HANDSET BATTERY PACK
Charging the handset batteries. The
handset of your Audlovox DST961 cord­
less telephone is powered by a recharge­
able 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. You I
know that battery pack needs charging
when:
* The phone emits a warning tone when
you press the TALK key.
* The MUTE/LOW ВАТТ LED is slowly
flashing
* The handset seems completely dead;
no lights are evident, and pressing keys
do not generate a beep.
To Charge the Battery Pack. To charge
the battery pack, place the handset in the
base unit. The CHARGE 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.
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
replacement battery pack from the base
charger. Place the drained handset battery
