Notes on operation
When installing and using the rechargeable batteries, please follow the rules below:
●Initially charge the batteries thoroughly. We recom- mend charging the batteries for approximately 16 hours without interruption (overnight for example). During the first week of operation, continually replace the handsets in the charging unit for recharging.
●New batteries do not usually reach their full capacity (i.e. maximum time when the telephone is in use and standby time) until they have been in normal use for several days. Although the battery LED indicates that the rechargeable batteries of a handset have been charged (LED off), you must assume during this initial phase that the capacity may not reach that of maxi- mum time when the telephone is in use, or that of standby time.
●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.
