IMPORTANT:
Depending on the level of “memory” effect that the battery
may have, it is sometimes necessary to recondition the
battery pack in the fast charge compartment twice. (Insert the
battery pack in the fast charge compartment and leave it
there until the Spare Fast Charge LED is steady green.
Remove the battery pack from the fast charge compartment,
then re-insert it and leave it until the Spare Fast Charge LED
is steady green a second time.)
Note that your handset will consume power during both talk time
(when the handset is on) and standby time (when the handset is
turned off, but out of the battery charger). A fully charged battery
pack provides about 3 hours of talk time or about 22 hours of
standby time. As a guideline, you can expect a 1 hour reduction in
talk time for every 7 hours of standby time. Similarly, you can expect
a 7 hour reduction in standby time for every hour of talk time.
We highly recommend that you purchase a second battery pack to
use as a spare. With the spare battery pack in the battery charger’s
fast charge compartment, you are assured of having a fresh, usable
battery pack while you are using the battery pack in the handset.
Low Battery Indicator
When the handset is on and the battery power is low, the handset
will emit two beeps and the BATT indicator in the handset display
will flash. When this occurs, you have approximately 1 to 2 minutes
of talk time left. At this point, you can either:
■
■
40
Complete your call, turn the handset off, and recharge the battery
pack, or
If you have a charged spare battery pack, place your call on Hold
and replace the handset battery pack with the spare battery pack
from the fast charge compartment of the battery charger. Wait 6
to 10 seconds, then turn the handset on and proceed as you would
for any call placed on Hold.
NOTE:
If you continue talking, the handset will turn off when the battery
pack is drained. Your call will be placed on Hold automatically so
you can swap battery packs.
