The use of other types of batteries or of non-recharge-

able batteries can cause malfunctions and can even

damage the equipment. The manufacturer does not

accept responsibility under these circumstances.

Please note the following guidelines when starting
and using batteries:

●

Each time you use your handset, you can replace it in

the charging unit. Charging is controlled electronically.

This ensures that the batteries are charged to

capacity.

●

At the outset, charge the batteries to full capacity. We

recommend that you charge them for a continuous

period of 16 hours, e.g. overnight. During the first

week of operation, place the handsets in the charging

unit at frequent intervals.

●

Generally, new batteries only achieve their full capac-

ity, i.e. full call or availability time, after several days of

normal use. Although the battery LED indicates that

the batteries in the handset have been charged – LED

of – during this initial phase, it should be expected

that the normal call and in-service times will not be

achieved.

●

After the batteries have been charged for the first

time (recommended time approx. 16 hours), they nor-

mally reach normal operating status. It is advisable to

recharge them frequently.

Note: operating time is low when the batteries are

not fully charged.

●

Ensure that the contacts do not come into contact

with metal or oily parts.

●

Battery charging times (at room temperature)
–

in handset

approx. 4-5 hours

(NiCd batteries)

–

in charger:

approx. 8-9 hours

(NiMH batteries,

1100 mAh)

●

If the LED lights up from time to time, this indicates

that “trickle charging” is taking place.

Never use ordinary batteries.
