Installing and Using Your CLS45i
To maximize the battery charge, place the handset back into the cradle when not in use and each night.
When out of the cradle, the battery typically holds a charge for several days, depending upon use.
Maximizing Handset Battery Life
To maximize the battery life, fully discharge the battery and recharge it occasionally.
Simply unplug your telephone line cord from the wall telephone jack.
Press TALK and allow the handset to remain on for 10 to 14 hours.
Then, reconnect the phone cord to the wall telephone jack.
Return the handset to the base and allow it to fully charge for 12 hours.
Doing this process monthly reduces the memory buildup that occurs from frequent, partial charging.
