• The battery fluid can damage your sight. If at any time battery fluid accidentally gets into your
eyes, rinse your eyes immediately with clean tap water and contact a doctor.
• If the battery is to be used by children, make sure a responsible adult instructs the children
in the precautions and proper handling, and make sure the children handle the battery
correctly.
• If battery fluid accidentally gets onto your clothing or skin, rinse the affected place immediately
with pure tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can lead to skin inflammation.
PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
• The battery is designed for use with Mitel 700 series DECT phones only.
• Only use the charger cradle supplied for charging.
• A new battery is not charged so you need to charge it before using for the first time.
• Using the battery in a cold environment can shorten the expected operating life of a full
charge. Charge the battery at a location with a temperature between 10° C and 35° C.
Charging outside this temperature range can lead to a longer-than-usual charging time or
even to failure of the charging process.
• An extremely short operating time after a full charge indicates that the lifetime of the battery
has expired. Replace the battery.
• Never wipe the battery with thinners, benzene, alcohol, or other volatile substances, or chem-
ically treated cloths. These can cause deformation of the battery and malfunction.
• If you need to send your DECT phone with an installed li-ion battery or li-ion batteries sepa-
rately, make sure you comply with the applicable laws and regulations with regard to the
shipment of hazardous goods.
BEFORE YOU START
Make sure you charge the battery before you use your DECT phone for the first time, as it ships
with only a low charge level.
To do so, place the DECT phone (switched on or off) in the charger cradle. If the handset is
switched off (e.g., after the battery has been inserted for the first time), it will remain switched off
in the charger cradle, but will still be charging. The LED flashes alternately green and red to
indicate this status. When you turn the handset on, the DECT phone’s current charge level is
indicated on the display.
It takes three to five charge and discharge cycles for the battery to achieve maximum
performance. Make sure you place the DECT phone in the charger cradle regularly to achieve
the optimum battery charge.
CHARGING CYCLE DURATION
Charging time in the charger cradle (empty battery):
• Full capacity: 2.5 hours (standard battery)
Note: The 742d DECT loses power even if the handset is powered off.
