make any further calls. The handset will automatically re-

IMPORTANT
!
Battery low warning
If the
icon flashes in the display, you will need to
recharge the handset before you can use it again.
During charging, the
icon in the display will scroll.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give
about 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby time from a
single charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they
have been in normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce
with time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk/
standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
Batteries and handsets may become warm during charging.
This is normal.
Tip!
It is good practice to put the cordless handset on the
charging cradle when it is not in use to ensure that the
handset is always fully charged.
