Installation

Battery

The cordless phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. You can fully charge an empty battery by placing the cordless phone in the charger for 4 hours. A fully charged battery gives you up to 17 hours calling time or up to 140 hours standby time.

Note: The calling time and standby time is shortened if the hands-free speaking function is used a lot.

The cordless phone has a battery meter, which indicates the power remaining in the battery.

Note: The cordless phone is powered by a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. It can be recharged at any time. To keep the battery fully charged, you can put or leave the cordless phone in the charger without any problem.

Reading the battery meter

When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter on the cordless phone display consists of four blocks. The number of blocks decreases as the battery discharges. If the battery is almost empty, the battery meter and the red light on the cordless phone flash. An alarm sounds if there is less than 15 minutes calling time remaining in the battery.
