Battery Life
Battery life is dependent on use and
conditions but in general when using
fully charged Ni-MH batteries:
Talk time: 20hrs approx.
Standby time: 200hrs approx.
When using Ni-Cd batteries (based on
800mA per hour)
Talk time: 12hrs approx.
Standby time: 100hrs approx.
(Times indicated are for peak performance)
The batteries reach peak performance
after several full charges.
The batteries cannot be overcharged
unless they are repeatedly removed
and replaced.
If battery life is shortened then
please check that battery and charge
terminals are clean.
For maximum battery life it is recommended that the handset is not
recharged until battery icon flashes
(ÛÛ).

(Before Initial Use)
! The batteries must be charged
for approximately 15 hours
before initial use.
After the batteries have been inserted
into the handset, place the handset in
the powered up base unit.
(The telephone line cord must not
be connected to the telephone
socket at this time. Please leave
your standard telephone connected until battery charging is complete).
The batteries are fully charged only
when ÒÒis flashing.
(After Initial Use)
When the battery icon flashes (and, if
programmed, battery low alarm
sounds), the handset should be
charged immediately because there is
little energy left in the batteries.
If the ÛÛicon flashes after a few
telephone calls even when the handset batteries have been fully charged,
the batteries must be replaced.
! Charge new batteries for
approximately 15 hours before
initial use.
(The telephone line cord must not
be connected to the telephone
socket at this time).
If the batteries are removed, the battery icon is reset to ÛÛ(less than
30% capacity). In this case, even if
fully charged batteries are fitted, the
icon remains as ÛÛuntil a full
charge cycle is complete.
On replacing the batteries, ensure
that the correct battery type is selected (see ‘Handset Settings’).
