is fully charged, it remains
functional for approximately 4 hours of continuous use and approximately 5 days when the
HANDSET
is off the
BASE UNIT
in STANDBY mode.

Receiving Calls
When a call is received, all of the
HANDSETS
registered to the system will ring with the RINGER
LEVEL and MELODY selected by the user. The first
HANDSET
to respond will get the call.
NOTE:
If you are too far away from the
BASE UNIT
, the
HANDSET
emits “beep” sounds to warn you
that the background noise level is too high for proper communication between the
HANDSET
and the
BASE UNIT
. When you hear this sound, you should move closer to the
BASE UNIT
to
reduce the noise level. Otherwise, the call will automatically cut off.
