NiMH batteries (nickel-metal hydride)
NiMH batteries take much longer to charge but their use can double handset talktime. When NiMH rechargeable batteries are used for the first time the charging display will not function correctly. The display will be correct only after charging the batteries, discharging and then recharging them again.
Battery low warning
An LCD on the handset display shows the current charging level. When the batteries are almost flat a beep sounds and the display shows the empty battery symbol. Displays showing that charging is in progress are listed below:
Batteries fully charged
Batteries at 66%
Batteries at 33%
Batteries empty
Setting up
If the symbol flashes
continuously, it means the handset is either out of range or is not registered with the base station. To register, follow the steps on page 52. All additional handsets you purchase will need to be individually registered with the base station before they will work with the Diverse 2016.
The symbol may also flash after a power failure. Provided the handset has been registered with the base, the symbol will stop flashing after a while indicating the handset has automatically
–see page 52. The display may also flash if the day and time have not been set, see page 29.
Please note: If you go out of range of a base station for a long time while your handset is switched ON, it may take more than 20 minutes to ‘find’ the base station again when you come back within range. However, by simply switching the handset OFF for a moment, then ON again, it will find the base station within a few seconds.
