7 Charge the handset
batteries for at least 16
hours
Place the handset on the base. The
handset can be charged face up or
down.
Make sure that the contacts on the
bottom end of the handset are
touching both charging contacts.
When the handset batteries are
charging, the green
CHARGING
light comes on – it goes off when
the battery is fully charged. It will
come on again occasionally to
indicate that the battery is being
topped up.
When the handset battery has been
charged for 16 hours, the Diverse
2016 is ready to use.
Battery performance
After charging your Diverse 2016 for
the first time, subsequent charging
time for the handset batteries is
approximately 4-5 hours. Batteries
and case may become warm during
charging. This is normal and not
dangerous.
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 7 hours
talktime or 60 hours standby on a
single charge (both standby and talk
time is reduced for the Diverse 2000
Executive Handset to approximately 50
hours standby and 6 hours talktime).
However, new NiCad batteries do not
reach their full capacity until they have
been in normal use for several days.
Please note that the lifespan of NiCad
rechargeable batteries depends on how
heavily they are used. However, over
time, their capacity to recharge will
begin to diminish and they will
eventually need replacing.
Getting the most out of your
batteries
Avoid replacing the handset on the
base station between calls. It is best to
keep the handset off the base for a few
hours at a time.
Battery display when inserting
or replacing a battery
When you replace the handset batteries
with ones that have been fully charged,
the battery indicator will not show full
until the next charge cycle has been
completed. Charge the handset until
the batteries register full again. From
then on the display will be correct.
