2.2 Battery charge
Place the handset on the cradle of the base unit
for about 6 hours before initial use.
L The unit will beep once, the [CHARGE]
indicator (1) will light, and “Charging” will
be displayed.
L When the battery is fully charged, “Charge
completed” will be displayed.
– it should last up to about 11 days while not
in use (off the base unit).
Note:
L Battery power is consumed whenever the
handset is off the base unit, even when the
handset is not in use. The longer you leave
the handset off the base unit, the time you
can actually talk on the handset will be
shortened. Actual battery performance
depends on a combination of how often the
handset is in use (in conversation) and how
often it is not in use (off the base unit).
L Once the battery is fully charged, you do not
have to place the handset on the cradle of the
base unit until “Recharge battery” is
displayed and/or 68879 flashes. This will
maximize the battery life.
