3 Important Battery Information
Note:
use only rechargable AAA NiMh battery of typical
800mAh, 1.2V. Never use a battery which is damaged or worn
out.
Heat or cold reduces the performance and service life of the
batteries. It is possible that a handset with hot or cold batteries
can be temporarily out of operation even if the batteries are fully
charged.
Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local
authority regulations. Hand them in for recycling!
Do not throw batteries in a fire.
Charging and
Discharging
The batteries can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times, but sooner or later they will be worn out. If the operating
time (i.e. talk and standby time) is significantly shorter than
usual, then it is time to replace the batteries.
To maintain optimum operating time, the batteries should be
discharged from time to time by not placing the handset in the
charger but leaving it switched on until it switches itself off.
Only use this method to discharge the batteries.
Extreme temperatures influence the charging capability of the
batteries.
