Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after a telephone call.
The redial memory numbers are retained for up to two minutes while you replace the batteries.
If you must replace the battery pack during a telephone call, complete the replacement within
30 seconds, and you can return to the original call. (If the replacement battery pack is not fully charged, the call may disconnect.)

Battery use time (per charge)
From fully charged
•Seven hours continuous use.
•Seven days when the handset is in the standby mode.
When the battery charge becomes low
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, “Low Battery” flashes and none of the keys will operate. If the phone is in use, “Low Battery” flashes and the handset beeps.
Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.
Cleaning the battery contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the battery contacts on the handset and base unit about once a month. Use a dry cloth or pencil eraser, if necessary.
