Important Notice Concerning the Correct Use and Charging of Ni-MH Batteries
Batteries, due to their construction, undergo some wear and tear. The lifetime of a battery also
depends on correct maintenance. Charging and discharging are the most important factors. You
should take notice of the following to maintain the life of the battery as long as possible.
Ni-MH batteries have a kind of memory, the "memory effect." If fully charged batteries are used
several times only for 15 minutes in the handset and then recharged, the capacity of the batteries will
be reduced to 15 minutes due to the memory effect. Therefore you should discharge the batteries
completely, i.e. use them in the handset until "
them as described in the manual. After the memory effect has occurred, it is possible to achieve
almost complete capacity of the Ni-MH batteries by charging and discharging several times one after
another.
