Tips on Extending Battery Pack Life

All rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium batteries can develop a "memory" (reduced charge capacity)
caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. Batteries that have developed this effect do not
operate to their fullest capacity.
➤
To avoid memory effect
➤
Operate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged before recharging. For
example, use the handset off the base all day. Only replace the handset on the base at night after
a full day of use. Do not "top off" the charge after using the battery for a short time.
➤
To erase memory effect
➤
Operate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged, then recharge it fully. Repeat
this process at least three times.
