Battery Performance
Installing and charging the handset batteries.
1
Remove the battery compartment cover.
Press down on the semi-circle indent and slide
the cover off.
Connect the supplied batteries with the
correct polarity.
Slide the battery cover back until it clicks
securely into place.
2 To charge the batteries, place the handset(s) on
the base or on a charger. The charging light in
the base illuminates. The
symbol scrolls
until the handset is fully charged.
If the charging light does not come on, reposition
the handset in the base or charger, ensuring that
the charging points contact. You must charge
each handset for 15-20 hours before use.
The handset may become warm during charging,
this is normal. On a single charge your handset will
give 10 hours talk time and 7 days standby time.
New NiMH batteries do not reach their full capacity
until they have been in use for several days.
Over time, as the batteries wear out, the charge
capacity will reduce, so reducing the talk/standby
time of the handset.
Eventually the batteries will need to be replaced.
On each handset:
WARNING
BATTERY LOW WARNING
Under no circumstances should non-
rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the
supplied battery pack or you will invalidate your
guarantee and may damage the telephone.
If the
symbol is displayed on the handset or
if you hear the low battery tone, you will need to
recharge your handset.
Note: If you set the "Battery Low" tone to off, the
low battery tone will not sound.
We recommend that you place the handset back
on the base/charger between use to ensure that
it is always fully charged.
