Talk/Standby time
3.
Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give about 10 hours 30
minutes talk time or 160 hours standby on a single charge. (This does not mean
you can unplug the base or leave it for this length of time without charge).
Please note that new NiMH rechargeable batteries do not reach full capacity
until they have been in normal use for several days.
Battery low warning
4.
If the
icon is flashing in the display and you hear a warning beep every
minute during a call, you will need to recharge your handset before you can
use it again.
Battery performance
5.
To keep the 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.
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time for
the batteries is approximately 6–8 hours.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear
out, thus reducing the talk/standby time. Eventually they will need replacing.
Handset range
6.
The Pyramid product has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is
a clear line of sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction between
the base and handset will reduce the range significantly. With the base
indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up
to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.
Signal strength
7.
The
icon on your handset display indicates when you are in range of the
base. When it flashes and you hear a warning beep, you are out of range and
will need to move closer to the base.
