Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the
handset batteries should
give up to 12 hours talk time
or 120 hours standby on a
single charge. (This doesn't
mean you can unplug the
base or leave the handset
for this length of time
without charge).
Please note that new Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries don't
reach full capacity until
they've been in normal use
for several days.
Battery low warning
You will hear a warning beep
every 2 minutes during a call
and the icon will flash.
You must recharge the
handset batteries before you
can use the handset. If the
charge completely runs out
the handset will switch off.
Place the handset on the base
or charger to charge.
