Note on the use of NiMH batteries:
After inserting NiMH batteries into the handset, we rec-
ommend that you charge the handset completely and
then discharge through use without returning it to the
charging shell until the battery low beep is audible. In this
way, the handset charge status display
7 is adapted
to the longer life of the NiMH battery. You can subse-
quently place your handset in the charging shell each
time it is used. Charging is electronically controlled which
ensures that the battery is charged optimally.
