To keep your battery pack in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours
at a time. Running the battery pack down at least once will help it last as long as possible. The
charge capacity of rechargeable battery pack will reduce with time as it wears out, giving the
handset less talk/standby time. Eventually it will need to be replaced.
note: Battery pack and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
