•Battery life may vary depending on usage conditions, such as:
–when viewing the Caller ID Caller List, and
–ambient temperature.
•Clean the handset charge contacts with a soft, dry cloth once a month. Clean more often if the unit is subject to grease, dust or high humidity. Otherwise the batteries may not charge properly.
•If the batteries are fully charged, you do not have to place the handset on the base unit until “Û” flashes. This will maximise the battery life.
•The batteries cannot be overcharged.
