Battery Life
Battery life is dependent on use and
conditions but in general when using
fully charged Ni-MH batteries:
Talk time: 20hrs approx.
Standby time: 200hrs approx.
When using Ni-Cd batteries (based on
800mA per hour)
Talk time: 12hrs approx.
Standby time: 100hrs approx.
(Times indicated are for peak performance)
The batteries reach peak performance
after several full charges.
The batteries cannot be overcharged
unless they are repeatedly removed
and replaced.
If battery life is shortened then
please check that battery and charge
terminals are clean.
For maximum battery life it is recom-
mended that the handset is not
recharged until battery icon flashes
(
ÛÛ
).

Turn Power ON
Z and hold ±.
When button is released, display
changes to the standby mode and a
confirmation tone sounds.
Turn Power OFF
From the standby mode, Z and
hold ± until a long tone sounds.
The display goes blank. If you put the
handset in the base unit, the battery
icon will display.
(Before Initial Use)
! The batteries must be charged
for approximately 15 hours
before initial use.
After the batteries have been inserted
into the handset, place the handset in
the powered up base unit.
(The telephone line cord must not
be connected to the telephone
socket at this time. Please leave
your standard telephone connect-
ed until battery charging is com-
plete).
The batteries are fully charged only
when
ÒÒ
is flashing.
(After Initial Use)
When the battery icon flashes (and, if
programmed, battery low alarm
sounds), the handset should be
charged immediately because there is
little energy left in the batteries.
If the
ÛÛ
icon flashes after a few
telephone calls even when the hand-
set batteries have been fully charged,
the batteries must be replaced.
! Charge new batteries for
approximately 15 hours before
initial use.
(The telephone line cord must not
be connected to the telephone
socket at this time).
If the batteries are removed, the bat-
tery icon is reset to
ÛÛ
(less than
30% capacity). In this case, even if
fully charged batteries are fitted, the
icon remains as
ÛÛ
until a full
charge cycle is complete.
On replacing the batteries, ensure
that the correct battery type is select-
ed (see ‘Handset Settings’).
