Install and Charge the Batteries
1) Slide the battery compartment cover off the back of the
handset.
2) Insert the rechargeable battery pack as shown with the battery
plugged into the small socket in the battery compartment.
3) Slide the battery compartment cover back on the handset.
4) Put the handset on the base and charge the battery for 15
hours before using for the first time. A beep indicates that the
handset is properly placed on the base or charger. Use only the
NiMH rechargeable batteries provided.
Battery low warning
If the icon flashes in the display, you will need to recharge the
handset before you can use it again. During charging, the icon in
the display will scroll.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about 10
hours talk time or 100 hours standby time on a single charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they have
been in normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with
time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby time.
Eventually they will need to be replaced.
Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is
normal.
Tip!
It is good practice to put the cordless handset on the charging cradle when it is
not in use to ensure that the handset is always fully charged.
