3 Charging the handset batteries
for at least 16 hours
Before you use the handset, place it on
the base unit or charging unit (available
separately). The handset can be charged
face up or down. Make sure that the
contacts on the bottom end of the handset
are touching both charging contacts.
When the handset batteries are charging,
the green
CHARGING
light comes on.
Normal battery charging time.
After charging your Diverse for the first
time, normal charging time for the handset
batteries is about 4-5 hours. Batteries warm
up when being charged; this is normal and
not dangerous.
Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries
should give about 6.5 hours talktime or
60 hours standby on a single charge. However,
new NiCad batteries do not reach their full
capacity until they have been in normal use
for several days.
Battery low warning
f lashes and handset beeps to warn
you that the batteries are within 5-10 minutes
of being completely f lat.
