Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the battery into your cordless phone:

- Regular Charging: Always return the handset to its charging base when not in use to ensure the battery remains charged.
- Battery Indicator: Monitor your phone's battery level indicator. Recharge the battery when the indicator shows low power.
- Discharge Cycle: For Ni-CD batteries, it is beneficial to occasionally allow the battery to fully discharge before recharging to help maintain its capacity. This is typically recommended once every few months.

- Cleaning: Keep the battery contacts and phone charging contacts clean and free of dust or debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Disposal: Do not dispose of batteries in household waste. Ni-CD batteries contain materials that require special recycling. Consult your local regulations for proper battery recycling facilities.
