General information
Replacing the handset batteries
After a time, you may find that the handset
batteries are running out of charge more
quickly.
This is a standard sign of wear and the batteries
will need replacing. Replacement rechargeable
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries can be
purchased from your local electrical retailer.
Slide off the battery compartment cover and
remove existing batteries. Insert the new
batteries and replace the compartment cover
until it clicks into place.
