Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install the new battery in your cordless phone handset:

1. Locate the Battery Compartment: Turn your cordless phone handset over. The battery compartment is typically located on the back, secured by a cover.
2. Remove the Battery Cover: Slide or unclip the battery compartment cover. You may need a small screwdriver for some models.
3. Disconnect Old Battery: Carefully disconnect the old battery pack from the phone's connector. Note the orientation of the connector.
4. Insert New Battery: Connect the new Uniden BT-905 battery pack to the phone's connector, ensuring it is oriented correctly. Do not force the connection.
5. Position the Battery: Place the new battery pack into the compartment. Ensure the wires are not pinched. Note: In some cases, you may need to slightly adjust or trim the battery pack's wrapper where the wires exit to allow the battery cover to close properly. This ensures the wires are not obstructing the cover.
6. Replace the Battery Cover: Securely reattach the battery compartment cover.

Initial Charging and Operation

After installing the new battery, it is crucial to perform an initial charge cycle.

1. Place Handset on Charger: Place the handset with the new battery into its charging cradle. Ensure the charging indicator on the handset or base station illuminates.
2. Initial Charge: Allow the battery to charge continuously for at least 12-15 hours before its first use, even if the phone indicates a full charge sooner. This conditions the battery for optimal performance.
3. Normal Operation: After the initial charge, the phone is ready for normal use. For best battery life, return the handset to the charger when not in use.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care can extend the life of your NiMH battery:

• Regular Charging: Always return the handset to the charging cradle when not in use. NiMH batteries do not suffer from a 'memory effect' as severely as NiCd batteries, but consistent charging is beneficial.
• Avoid Deep Discharge: While occasional full discharge and recharge cycles can be beneficial for NiMH batteries, frequently allowing the battery to completely drain can shorten its lifespan.
• Temperature: Store and operate the battery at room temperature. Extreme heat or cold can degrade battery performance and life.
• Cleaning Contacts: Periodically clean the charging contacts on both the handset and the charging cradle with a dry cloth to ensure a good connection.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your battery, consider the following:

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the handset is correctly seated in the charging cradle.
  • Verify the charging cradle is properly connected to power.
  • Clean the charging contacts on both the handset and cradle.
  • Confirm the battery is correctly installed and connected inside the handset.
• Short Talk Time/Poor Battery Life:
  • Ensure the initial 12-15 hour charge cycle was completed.
  • The battery may require several charge/discharge cycles to reach full capacity.
  • If the battery is old, its capacity may have naturally degraded over time, requiring replacement.
• Phone Not Turning On:
  • Check if the battery is properly connected and charged.
  • Verify the phone's power adapter is working.
  • If the issue persists, the phone itself may have a fault.
