Tips on Extending Battery Pack Life

Battery Memory Effect

All rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. Batteries that have developed this effect do not operate to their fullest capacity.

To avoid memory effect

Operate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged before recharging. For example, use the handset off the base all day. Only replace the handset on the base at night after a full day of use. Do not “top off” the charge after using the battery for a short time.

To erase memory effect

Operate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged, then recharge it fully. Repeat this process at least three times.

When the battery pack in the handset is low and needs to be charged you see this message on the display and the handset beeps.
