battery which is damaged or worn out.
Heat or cold reduces the performance and life of the batteries. It is possible that a telephone
with hot or cold batteries can be temporarily out of operation even if the batteries are fully
charged.
Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
Do not throw batteries in a fire.

Charging and Discharging

The batteries can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but sooner or later they will be
worn out. If the operating time (i.e. talk and standby time) is significantly shorter than usual, then
it is time to replace the batteries.
To maintain optimum operating time, the batteries should be discharged from time to time by not
placing the telephone in the charger but leaving it switched on until it switches itself off. Only
use this method to discharge the batteries.
Extreme temperatures influence the charging capability of the batteries.

Charging the Batteries

Charge the batteries approximately 6 to 7 hours before using the telephone. This protective
measure extends the service life of the batteries.
The maximum power output is only attained after three to five charge and discharge cycles.
When replacing the batteries, ensure the correct polarity. Use only rechargeable AAA NiMh
battery of 800 mAh, 1.2V. The manufacturer does not accept liability for malfunctions or damage
caused by using other battery types or normal batteries.
