To keep your battery in the best condition, leave the handset off the base station for a few hours at a time. (After the initial 16 hour charge.)
Battery performance
After charging your Synergy Handset for the first time, subsequent charging time for the handset batteries is approximately 4-5 hours. Batteries and case may become warm during charging. This is normal and not dangerous.
Under ideal conditions, the handset battery should give about 6 hours talktime or 60 hours standby on a single charge. Please note, however, that the new NiCad battery, does not reach its full capacity until it has been in normal use for several days.
Battery low warning
Your handset display will show the status of your battery:
