Rechargeable Handset Battery Information
NOTE: Before using your new Cobra Intenna cordless telephone for the first
time, you must charge the battery overnight (at least 12 hours) for optimum
long-life conditioning of the nickel-cadmium rechargeable handset battery.
BATTERY RECHARGING
When your cordless handset battery needs recharging, the following alerts will
remind you to immediately return the handset to the base for recharging (this
normally requires at least 12 hours of continuous charging):
1.
The LOBAT indicator in the display
will ßash.
2.
A warning (2 beeps every 15
seconds) will sound while you are
using the phone. This indicates you
have only a few minutes of battery
power remaining to complete your
conversation before the phone
disconnects.
3.
When handset has been away from
the base and needs recharging, it
will beep at 15 second intervals for
two minutes. Return handset to
base for recharging.
NOTE: The CHARGE indicator will
remain on as long as the handset is in
the base, even after the batteries are fully
recharged. The batteries will not be
damaged if the handset remains in the
base continuously; the charging system
is self-adjusting and will never
overcharge the batteries.
