Battery performance
6.
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about 10 hours talk
time or 100 hours standby time on a single charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base
for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as
long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need
to be replaced.
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is
about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during
charging. This is normal.
Date and time
7.
Providing you have subscribed to your network’s Caller Display service, the
date and time is set automatically for all handsets when you receive your first
call. The date and time is recorded with each answering machine message
you receive.
If you do not have a Caller Display service you can set the date and time
manually. Please see page 32 for these instructions.
