3.5 Charging the standard batteries
The rechargeable batteries for your telephone have a stand-by time of max. 100 hours at
room temperature and a maximum talk time of up to 10 hours.
The current battery capacity is shown in the display.
Full
Half Low
If the battery capacity is too low, the symbol will flash in the display and you will hear
warning tones every 60 seconds.
To charge the batteries, place the handset in the base station with the display to the front.
Note: The batteries must be charged for at least 16 hours before being used for the first
time. Exactly like your car battery, the rechargeable batteries are unavoidably subject to a
certain ageing. However, you can have an influence on this ageing process by "training" the
batteries to a certain extent. In regular use of the phone, if you cyclically charge and fully
discharge the batteries by using the telephone until the symbol appears in the
display, a demand is placed on the batteries and they will repay you by giving maximum
performance and a long life. Extended charging and extended discharging on the other
hand will both degrade the capacity and shorten the life of the batteries.
3.6 Tone (TD) or pulse (PD) dialling
This trend-setting feature enables you to use your telephone both on analogue exchanges
(Pulse Dialling/PD) and on digital exchanges (Tone Dialling/TD). The unit is set in the
factory to Tone Dialling (TD). If your telephone does not work on your exchange, you can
find out under Section 8.6 how to set up your telephone for pulse dialling (PD).
