4 Charging the Batteries
Charge the batteries approximately 6 to 7 hours before initial use of the handset. This protective measure extends the ser- vice life of the batteries.
The maximum power output is only attained after three to five charging and discharging cycles.
Place the handset regularly in the charger thus ensuring opti- mum charging of the batteries.
When replacing the batteries, pay attention to the correct polarity. It is essential to make sure that only battery types approved by the manufacturer are used.
Use only rechargable AAA NiMh battery of 800mAh, 1.2V. The manufacturer does not accept liability for malfunctions or dam- age caused by using other battery types or normal batteries.
Charging time: (empty batteries) to full capacity in approx. 6 to 7 hours.
Talk time: approx. 20 hours (with fully charged batteries).
Standby time: up to 200 hours (with fully charged batteries).
The charge status of the batteries is indicated on the display. This means:
ƒbatteries fully charged (75 – 100%)
„batteries 50 – 74%
…batteries 25 – 49%
†batteries 0 – 24%
†(frame flashes) batteries are empty: alert tone has been given.
When batteries are replaced, no icon will be displayed before a complete charge cycle has been completed, except when almost empty batteries are inserted in the phone, then the icon will be shown immediately.
When the battery capacity icon is displayed the indication is reliable.
If the charged batteries are inserted, the batteries can become hot during the first charge cycle, and if the fully charged batter- ies are removed from the phone and inserted again, the batter- ies can become overcharged.
