New batteries do not usually reach their full capacity
until they have been in normal use for several days. Al-
though the battery LED indicates that the handset’s
batteries have been charged (LED off), you must as-
sume during this initial phase that the capacity may
not reach its maximum.
Standby time:
Up to 70 hours (NiCd, 650 mAh)
Up to 110 hours (NiMH, 1110 mAh)
Up to 130 hours (NiMH, 1300 mAh)
When the telephone is in use

After they have initially been thoroughly charged, the
rechargeable batteries are fully operative. For normal
operation, we recommend that the handsets are not
placed in the charging unit each time a call is complet-
ed. The rechargeable batteries should be discharged
from time to time.
Caution: partially discharged batteries only offer lim-
ited operating time.
Make sure that the contacts do not touch metal or oily
objects.
