Battery Life

Battery life is dependent on use and conditions but in general when using fully charged Ni-MH batteries (700 mAh): Talk time: 10hrs approx.

Standby time: 120hrs approx.

When using Ni-Cd batteries (250 mAh): Talk time: 4hrs approx.

Standby time: 40hrs approx. (Times indicated are for peak performance)

The batteries reach peak performance after several full charge/discharge cycles. The batteries cannot be overcharged unless they are repeatedly removed and replaced.

If battery life is shortened then please check that battery and charge terminals are clean.

For maximum battery life, it is recommended that the handset not be recharged until the battery icon flashes
