Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)

Battery use time (per charge)

From fully charged

7 hours continuous use

10 days when the handset is in the standby mode

When the battery charge becomes low

When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, “Low Battery” flashes and none of the

keys will operate. If the phone is in use, “Low Battery” flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.

Notes

Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after a telephone call for battery charging.

The built-in memory backup can hold numbers and names stored in the memory for up to 2 minutes, while you replace the battery pack.

If you must replace the battery pack during a telephone call, complete the replacement of the battery pack within 30 seconds, and you can return to the original call.

Cleaning the battery contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all battery contacts on the handset and base unit about once a month. Use a dry cloth or pencil eraser, if necessary.

Do not use any liquids or solvents.
