MAXIMIZE BATTERY PERFORMANCE
The freedom that your cordless telephone can offer is fully dependent on the
performance of the rechargeable battery in the handset. To maximize the battery
performance, follow these guidelines:
Charge it for a full 12 hours
Before initial use of your new battery, charge it for 12 hours continuously. The
proper initial charging is very important to maximize the battery performance.
Keep the contacts clean
You can never fully recharge the battery if the contacts are dirty. Clea n all the
contacts - two at the bottom of the handset and two in the base cradle - periodi-
cally. Use a clean pencil eraser or superfine steelwool to clean the charging
contacts. Avoid touching the cabinet area of the phone, or scratches may occur.
Refresh battery
If your battery seems to need recharging more often than usual, it may have lost
part of its charging capacity because of premature recharges. To bring ba ck its
full capacity, try “refreshing” the battery:
1. First discharge the battery by leaving the handset in TALK mode until Battery
Low indication turns on. (Disconnect the base from the telephone line, so that
your line is not busy all the time.)
2. Then charge it for 12 continuous hours.
3. Repeat the above once more.
