Charging the battery
Place the handset in the base station as shown in the picture below.
If the lower green light on the base station is on (and the battery meter on the
display flashes), the battery is being charged. As soon as the battery is fully
charged, the lower green light is turned off and the battery meter on the hand-
set stops flashing.
If the battery is completely flat it can take a few minutes before the lower
green light on the base station comes on.
Changing the battery
Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifespan. Under normal conditions, the
handset battery will last for at least a year.
If the standby time for the handset becomes too low, you should replace the
battery. Please contact your dealer for more information.
Warning Only use batteries as specified in "Technical specifications" on
page 93.
The battery does not contain cadmium and is therefore more environmentally-
friendly than other rechargeable batteries. However, all batteries should be
treated as chemical waste.
