Battery low warning
If the
symbol is
flashing, you will need
to recharge your
handset before using it.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries
in the best condition,
leave the handset
off the base for a few
hours at a time (after
the initial 16 hour
charge). New NiMH
batteries do not reach
full capacity until they
have been in normal
use for several days
Running the batteries
right down at least
once a week will help
them last as long as
possible.
The charge capacity
of rechargeable
batteries will reduce
with time as they
wear out, so reducing
the talk/standby
time of the handset.
Eventually they will
need to be replaced.
New batteries can be
obtained from TecHelp
on 1300 396 193 or
your nearest electrical
retailer.
