Note:
• Initial charging: Charge the batteries for at least 5 hours with-
out a break, regardless of the charging status icon. Without re-
placing it in the charging shell, use the handset until the "bat-
tery low" beep is heard. This action aligns the charge status
display with the operating times of the batteries.
• To attain full operating and charging times (Æ page 15): With-
out replacing it in the charging shell, use the handset until the
"battery low" beep is heard.
• For future charging: you can place your handset in the charging
shell each time it is used. Charging is electronically controlled
which ensures that the batteries are charged optimally.
