Getting started
2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the 2
x AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries supplied. Please note the ’+’ and ’-’
markings inside the battery compartment and insert in the
correct direction.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.
4. If you are charging the batteries for the first time, place the handset on
the charger to charge for at least 24 hours continuously.
5. When the handset is fully charged,
icon will appear steady on the
display. The display will show
HANDSET
and handset number (e.g. 2) to
indicate that it is registered to the base.
IMPORTANT
Warning! Use only the approved rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells (2 x AAA
Ni-MH 750mA rechargeable batteries) supplied with your C5010A.
BATTERY LOW WARNING
If
icon flashes on the display and you hear a warning beep every 30
seconds during a call, you will need to recharge the handset before you can
use it again.
When charging,
icon will scroll on the display.
BATTERY PERFORMANCE
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 13 hours talk
time or up to 180 hours standby time on a single charge.

Note that new batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been
put to 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.

All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected
and usage pattern.
