Note:

LBattery operating time may be shortened over time depending on usage conditions and ambient temperature.

LBattery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the charger, the shorter you can actually talk using the handset.

LOnce the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again until “Recharge battery” is displayed or 3flashes. This will maximize the battery life.
