Battery Life

A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about seven hours or standby
time of four days.

NOTE: Talk time and standby time may vary depending on operating conditions.

Battery Indicator

Ten minutes before the battery charge level gets too low to operate the handset, an
empty battery icon will start flashing, five short tones are generated and a Low
Battery message is displayed.

If you continue to use the handset without charging or replacing the battery (spare
batteries purchased separately), the handset will turn off automatically when the
battery charge level is no longer sufficient to power up the handset, and the call will be
dropped.

Charging the Handset Battery

After a low battery indication, place the handset in the charger and make sure the
CHARGING light turns on. With the exception of the first charge, the battery typically
takes eight hours to fully charge.

NOTE: If you repeatedly get a low battery indication, even after eight hours of charging,
then the battery should be replaced.

As you register additional i 5808 handsets to your i 5858 or i 5871 system, they
will be assigned extension numbers in the following order: HANDSET 2, HANDSET
3, HANDSET 4, and so forth.
