Chargers
It is recommended that you allow your battery to fully dis-
charge before you recharge it. Batteries last longer and
perform better if allowed to discharge fully at least once a
week.
Standard Travel Charger (ACH-3U)
This charger can be used with all
battery options. Note that you can-
not make calls during charging
when the battery is fully discharged.
Plug the charger into a wall outlet
and connect the lead to the base of
the phone or to a light desk stand.
Rapid Travel Charger (ACH-4U)
This lightweight AC charger can be
used with all battery options. Calls
can be made during charging, even
with a fully discharged battery.
To use the Rapid Travel Charger
(ACH-4U), plug it into a standard
120V AC wall outlet, and connect the
lead from the charger to the base of
the phone.
The charger can also be used together
with the optional Compact Desktop
Charging Stand (CHH-2) and Light Desk
Stand (CHH-2L).

Rapid Cigarette Lighter Charger (LCH-2)
You can charge the
phone battery from your
vehicle battery by using
the Rapid Cigarette Light-
er Charger (LCH-2). You
can also use the charger
with stands (CHH-2) and
CHH-2L (described be-
low). Calls are possible during charging.
A green light indicates the charger is ready for charging
(when not charging) or finished charging (if it has been
charging). A red light indicates charging. The battery
charging times are the same as those for the Rapid Travel
Charger (ACH-4U).
The input voltage range is from 10 to 30V DC, negative
grounding. Avoid prolonged charging with the Rapid Cig-
arette Lighter Charger (LCH-2) when the car engine is not
running; this may cause the battery of your car to drain.
Note also that in some cars the cigarette lighter plug is not
provided with electricity if the ignition is not switched on.
Fuse Replacement
The Rapid Cigarette Lighter Charger contains a protective
fuse. The fuse is located in the charger tip. If the charger
does not work, the fuse may be blown, in which case re-
place it with a 3 amp. 125 volt fuse. Never use a fuse with
a higher rating.
Compact Desktop Charging Stand
(CHH-2)
The Compact Desktop Charging
Stand (CHH-2) allows you to
place both the phone and a spare
battery for charging at the same
time in the stand. It is compatible
with all battery options.
The charger starts to charge the spare battery as soon as
it has finished charging the phone battery.

Connect either the Rapid Travel Charger (ACH-4U) or the
Rapid Cigarette Lighter Charger (LCH-2) to the stand, and
then plug the Rapid Travel Charger or Rapid Cigarette
Lighter Charger into a wall outlet or vehicle respectively.
Place the phone and/or the spare battery in the stand.
To discharge the spare battery, press the blue button on
the stand. When the battery is totally discharged, recharg-
ing starts automatically. (If you wish to stop discharging,
press the button again to start the charging right away.)
Only the spare battery can be discharged.
The blinking red light indicates discharging, the continuous
red light indicates recharging and the green light indicates
trickle charging. The phone is ready for use when the
green light appears (check the charge on the phone
display).
Light Desk Stand (CHH-2L)
The Light Desk Stand (CHH-2L)
offers support for the phone
during charging. Used together
with the Standard Travel Charg-
er (ACH-3U), Rapid Travel
Charger (ACH-4U), or the Rapid
Cigarette Lighter Charger
(LCH-2), this drop-in stand is an economical choice when
you need your phone close at hand, always ready for calls.
Charging is indicated by the scrolling battery bars on the
right side of the phone’s display. Charging is finished when
the scrolling stops.
