Using rechargeable batteries
The following should be noted when using
rechargeable batteries:
● Only use the rechargeable battery types supplied (AA
nickel-cadmium batteries). When replacing recharge-
able batteries, the following can be used:
Saft RC6, Panasonic P-60 AA/1P, Philips R6 NC-P,
UCAR RC6, Eveready RC6, DAIMON ACCU 1000,
Sanyo N-3U, Varta Rechargeable Accu Plus Ni-Cd 1.2V,
No. 5006.
● Nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries
can significantly increase the time for which Gigaset
2000C Tango can be used. The following can be used:
Sanyo HR-3U (1300 mAh), GP GP120 AAHC,
Emmerich CE R 6, Energizer EMH-1100AAC,
Varta VH1101AA,
● Using other battery types or non-rechargeable batter-
ies may cause malfunctions or even damage the
equipment. The manufacturer shall assume no liability
in this case.
When installing and using the rechargeable batteries,
please follow the rules below:
● Charge new batteries thoroughly. We recommend
charging the batteries for approximately 16 hours
without interruption (overnight for example). During
the first week of operation, continually place the
handset in the charging unit for recharging.
To ensure maximum lasting power from your
NiMH batteries observe the following: once the
batteries have been fully charged for the first
time, the handset prematurely indicates that the
batteries are running low ( e ). Continue to use
the handset until the battery symbol = ap-
pears and the batt. low beep sounds (caution:
max. operating time remaining is 10 minutes). In
this way the handset recognizes the extended
capacity of the rechargeable batteries and will in
future display the correct battery charging sta-
tus.
Opening the battery compartment resets the
display to the capacity of the batteries delivered
with the telephone.
Never use ordinary batteries.
