Battery use time (per charge)
From fully charged
• Seven hours coutinuous use.
• Seven days when the handset is in the standby mode.

When the battery charge becomes low

When the voltage of battery pack is very low and
needs to be charged, the phone eliminates functions
to save power. If the phone is not in use,
"Low Battery" flashes and none of the keys
will operate. If the phone is in use, "Low Battery" flashes and the handset
beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to
the base unit for charging.
Notes
• Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long
period. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after
a telephone call for charging the battery.
• The built-in memory backup can hold numbers and names stored in the memory for
up to 2 minutes, while you replace the battery pack.
• Rechargeable batteries have a memory effect that reduces standby and talk time. To
avoid this memory effect, on a monthly basis, use the phone until the
"Low Battery" indication appears. Then charge the battery for 12-15 hours.

Cleaning the battery contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all battery contacts on the handset
and base unit about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner.
Do not use any liquids or solvents.
