Battery Life

Battery life depends on how far the handset is from the base, and other environmental conditions.

NOTE: For optimum battery performance, charge your handset on the base every night.

	Operation:	Approximate Battery Life:

IN USE	Near base unit	10 hours
(phone on)	Away from base unit	10 hours

NOT IN USE	Ringer on	15 days
	Ringer off	30 days

Charge the Handset Battery Pack

This battery should remain charged up to 15 days with the Ringer on and up to 30 days with the Ringer off. A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about 10 hours.

The battery pack needs charging when:

•A new battery is installed in the handset.

•The phone beeps four times when you press P.

•The battery status symbol on the screen is only partly displayed.

•The phone does not respond when you press P.

Place the handset in the base either in the face-down or face-up position so the CHARGING light turns on. The battery pack is typically fully charged in six hours. For best results, the initial charge should be 12 hours.

You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the base after each use.

If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after six hours of charging, the battery should be replaced.
