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

4 hours

(phone on)

Away from base unit

2 1/2 hours

 

 

 

NOT IN USE

Charge the Handset Battery Pack

This battery should remain charged up to four days with Powersave turned off and up to 17 days with Powersave on. A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about three 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 four hours of charging, the battery should be replaced.
