Using the Telephone

Battery Charging

(Before Initial Use)

! The batteries must be charged for approximately 15 hours before initial use.

After the batteries have been inserted into the handset, place the handset in the powered up base unit.

(The telephone line cord must not be connected to the telephone socket at this time. Please leave your standard telephone connect- ed until battery charging is com- plete).

The batteries are fully charged only when Ò is flashing.

(After Initial Use)

When the battery icon flashes (and, if programmed, battery low alarm sounds), the handset should be charged immediately because there is little energy left in the batteries.

Battery Life

Battery life is dependent on use and conditions but in general when using fully charged Ni-MH batteries:

Talk time: 20hrs approx.

Standby time: 200hrs approx.

When using Ni-Cd batteries (based on 800mA per hour)

Talk time: 12hrs approx.

Standby time: 100hrs approx. (Times indicated are for peak performance) The batteries reach peak performance after several full charges.

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 recom- mended that the handset is not recharged until battery icon flashes (Û).

Replacing the batteries

If the Û icon flashes after a few telephone calls even when the hand- set batteries have been fully charged, the batteries must be replaced.

!Charge new batteries for approximately 15 hours before initial use.

(The telephone line cord must not be connected to the telephone socket at this time).

If the batteries are removed, the bat- tery icon is reset to Û (less than 30% capacity). In this case, even if fully charged batteries are fitted, the icon remains as Û until a full charge cycle is complete.

On replacing the batteries, ensure that the correct battery type is select- ed (see ‘Handset Settings’).
