Talk/Standby time
In ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 10
hours talk time or 100 hours
standby on a single charge. The
base must remain plugged in to
the mains and switched on at all
times.
Note that new batteries do not
reach full capacity until they
have been in normal use for
several days.

Battery low warning
If the battery charge becomes low
during a call you will hear a
warning beep every minute
(provided the battery warning
beeps are set to on, see page 29).
If the battery runs out you will be
cut off. You will need to recharge
the handset before using it again.
During charging, the icon
will scroll in the display.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them
last as long as possible.
