• Do not leave the battery in a discharged state. Charge the

battery promptly when flat.

• If the battery is in a deep discharge state it can take 30 minutes

to start charging. Leave it on charge to recover the battery.

• Keep your handset and battery cool. High temperatures degrade

the battery more quickly.

• Normal charge time is 2-3 hours. Do not charge more than

24hrs.

From then on use top up charging to recharge frequently and always charge promptly when flat.

40% and remove the battery.
