Initial charging and discharging of

without interruption
for
nine
hours. Your handset need not
be turned on for it to charge.

Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the cradle
and do not put it back again until the
batteries are fully discharged.

batteries will decrease for technical rea-
sons.
