Basic Operation 13
Charging the Battery
Depending on the usage; the Parent Unit will work for up to 10 hours with a fully charged battery. If a battery low alert tone is heard and the battery icon on the Parent Unit's display is flashing, you should put the parent unit on the Charger Pod to recharge the battery. You can still use your Parent Unit from the Charger Pod. When charging, the red power light on the charger will light steadily.
When you switch on your Parent Unit, the battery icon on the display will indicate the current charge level of the battery.
Note:
The parent unit can be used on or off the charger pod. When on the charger pod, the battery will be recharged at the same time. However, the time it takes to charge the battery to full will be longer when the unit is charged and used at the same time.
The Parent Unit can't be operated on the charging cradle without a battery.
Running the rechargeable battery right down at least once a week will help it last as long as possible. The charge capacity of a rechargeable battery will reduce with time as they age, so reducing the performance time of the parent unit. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
