BATTERY MEMORY EFFECT

Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter everytime you use the unit. To avoid Memory Effect, at least once a month operate the unit until the talk/batt low LED begins to flash. Avoid “topping off” the charge after using the phone for a short period of time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended period of time.
