Notes regarding the use of batteries
1. Only use nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries with the handset! The handset standby/talk
times and charging times apply only for the specified minimum battery capacity (750 mAh)
(see "Technical Data", page 74).
Two rechargeable NiMH cells (AAA – micro) are included in the package with the handset.
You can also purchase these types of batteries from your dealer as spares.
Use of different types of batteries, or non-rechargeable batteries / primary cells poses a hazard
and may also result in impairment of functions or damage to the device. Understandably, the
manufacturer does not assume any liability in such cases.
2. Batteries become warm during charging; this is normal and does pose any hazard.
3. Do not use any other charger units, as this may damage the batteries.
4. Observe the correct polarity position when installing the batteries!
5. Do not submerge batteries in water or throw into fire!
6. Do not take the batteries apart! Risk of caustic electrolytes escaping!
7. When the batteries are re-installed, the display in the handset will only indicate the actual bat-
tery status after a complete charging process.
8. New batteries only achieve their full capacity after a few charging/draining cycles.
9. You can place your handset back in the base station after each call. Charging is controlled
electronically so that the batteries are charged optimally and in a manner that reduces wear
and tear on the batteries, even in the most varying charging states. Avoid removing the batter-
ies from the handset when at all possible, as this can impair optimal charging.
The capacity of the batteries can be improved when they are completely drained and then fully
recharged after long-term use.
10. Do not short-circuit the batteries (hazard). Be sure to prevent any short-circuiting of the batter-
ies while they are in storage or being transported, such as by a keychain, metal plates or the
like and do not let the batteries come into contact with greasy substances. For this reason,
always store the batteries in insulated packing materials when they are not in the handsets;
also avoid all contact with greasy parts.
