Southwestern Bell GH3210 - Manual (Page 15)

Handset Battery Charging
The battery pack in the handset must be fully charged for about 10-14 hours before
using the telephone.
After connecting to AC power, leave the handset unused in the cradle for ten to
fourteen hours. Later, it will take less time for the battery to recharge. The IN USE/
CHARGE LED on the base will be lit when the handset is in the cradle.
NOTE:
a. When the battery gets low, the LCD will show “BATTERY LOW” indicator, and the
unit will beep every 10 seconds.
b. If the battery becomes low while you are on a call, you will be disconnected after
about 3 minutes. Terminate the call quickly, and put the handset in the base to
recharge the battery.
The battery will hold its charge for several days out of the cradle, depending on use.
To Replace Batteries
1. Remove battery cover.
2. Remove battery.
3. Plug the cord of the battery pack into the handset and place the battery in the
case.
4. Slide battery cover until it clicks in place. Charge 10-14 hours before first use.
To maximize your battery’s life, we recommend that you periodically fully discharge the
battery, and then recharge it. To do this, unplug your phone line cord from the wall
phone jack. Press the TALK button, and allow the handset to remain on for 10 to 12
hours. Reconnect the phone cord to the wall phone jack. Return the handset to the base
and allow it to fully charge for 12 hours. If this process is completed monthly, it will
reduce the memory buildup that occurs from frequent partial charging.
