Important informations

●The use of other types of batteries or of non-recharge- able batteries can cause malfunctions and can even damage the equipment. The manufacturer does not accept responsibility under these circumstances.

Never use ordinary batteries.

Please note the following guidelines when starting and using batteries:

●Each time you use your handset, you can replace it in the charging unit. Charging is controlled electronically. This ensures that the batteries are charged to capacity.

●At the outset, charge the batteries to full capacity. We recommend that you charge them for a continuous period of 16 hours, e.g. overnight. During the first week of operation, place the handsets in the charging unit at frequent intervals.

●Generally, new batteries only achieve their full capac- ity, i.e. full call or availability time, after several days of normal use. Although the battery LED indicates that the batteries in the handset have been charged – LED of – during this initial phase, it should be expected that the normal call and in-service times will not be achieved.

●After the batteries have been charged for the first time (recommended time approx. 16 hours), they nor- mally reach normal operating status. It is advisable to recharge them frequently.

Note: operating time is low when the batteries are not fully charged.

●Ensure that the contacts do not come into contact with metal or oily parts.

●Battery charging times (at room temperature)

–	in handset	approx. 4-5 hours
		(NiCd batteries)
–	in charger:	approx. 8-9 hours
		(NiMH batteries,
		1100 mAh)

●If the LED lights up from time to time, this indicates that “trickle charging” is taking place.
