Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use of your Empire Ni-MH 3.6V, 700 mAh Cordless Phone Battery, designed for compatibility with GE 28111EE2 cordless phone models. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your battery.
Setup and Installation
Unpacking
Carefully remove the battery from its packaging. Inspect the battery for any visible damage. If damage is observed, do not proceed with installation and contact your retailer.
Battery Installation
- Locate the Battery Compartment: On your GE 28111EE2 cordless phone handset, identify and open the battery compartment cover. This is typically located on the back of the handset.
- Remove Old Battery (if applicable): If replacing an old battery, carefully disconnect its connector from the phone's battery terminal and remove the old battery.
- Connect New Battery: Align the connector of the Empire replacement battery with the battery terminal inside the phone's compartment. Gently push until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the polarity is correct.
- Position Battery: Place the new battery into the compartment, ensuring it fits snugly without forcing.
- Close Compartment: Replace the battery compartment cover, ensuring it is securely latched.
Initial Charging
After installation, place the phone handset on its charging base. Allow the battery to charge continuously for at least 12-16 hours before its first use, even if the phone indicates a full charge sooner. This initial charge is crucial for conditioning the Ni-MH battery and achieving its full capacity.
Operating Instructions
Regular Charging
For optimal battery life, return the handset to its charging base when not in use. Ni-MH batteries do not suffer from a 'memory effect' as severely as older Ni-Cd batteries, but consistent charging habits help maintain performance.
Battery Discharge
It is generally beneficial to allow the battery to fully discharge occasionally (e.g., once every few months) before performing a full recharge cycle. This can help recalibrate the phone's battery indicator and maintain battery health.
Maintenance
Storage
If the battery will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to charge the battery to about 50% capacity before long-term storage and recharge it every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge.
Cleaning
Keep the battery contacts on both the battery and the phone clean. Use a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe away any dust or debris. Do not use liquid cleaners.
Disposal
Do not dispose of batteries in household waste. Ni-MH batteries contain recyclable materials. Please dispose of the battery responsibly at a local recycling center or according to local regulations for battery disposal.
Troubleshooting
- Phone Not Turning On: Ensure the battery is correctly installed and fully charged. Verify that the phone's charging base is powered.
- Battery Not Holding Charge: Confirm the initial 12-16 hour charge was completed. If the issue persists after several charge/discharge cycles, the battery may need replacement or the phone's charging circuit may be faulty.
- Short Talk Time: This could indicate the battery is not fully charged or has reached the end of its service life. Ensure proper charging and consider replacing the battery if it is old.
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, consult your phone's user manual or contact the phone manufacturer's support.
