NiMH batteries (nickel-metal
hydride)
NiMH batteries take much longer
to charge but their use can double
handset talktime. When NiMH
rechargeable batteries are used for
the first time the charging display will
not function correctly. The display
will be correct only after charging
the batteries, discharging and then
recharging them again.
Please note:
If you go out of range
of a base station for a long time
while your handset is switched ON,
it may take more than 20 minutes to
‘find’ the base station again when
you come back within range.
However, by simply switching the
handset OFF for a moment, then
ON again, it will find the base
station within a few seconds.
If the
symbol flashes
continuously, it means the handset
is either out of range or is not
registered with the base station.
To register, follow the steps on page
31. All additional handsets you
purchase will need to be individually
registered with the base station before
they will work with the Diverse 2011.
The
symbol may also f lash after a
power failure. Provided the handset
has been registered with the base,
the
symbol will stop f lashing after
a while indicating the handset has
automatically re-registered to the
base station. If it continues to f lash,
re-register the handset to the base
station – see page 31.

An LCD on the handset display shows
the current charging level. When the

battery symbol. Displays showing that
