WARNING

Never use non-rechargeable batteries. Only use the approved batteries. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give up to 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby on a single charge. (This does not mean you can unplug the base or leave the handset for this length of time without charge).

Please note that new NiMH rechargeable batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

Battery low warning

If the icon is flashing in the display and you hear a warning beep every minute during a call, you will need to recharge your handset before you can use it.

Battery performance

To keep the batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time.

Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.

After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time for the batteries is approximately 6–8 hours.

The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, thus reducing the talk/ standby time. Eventually they will need replacing. For details on how to obtain spare batteries, call the
