WARNING
Never use non-rechargeable batteries.

Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give up to 10 hours
talk time or up to 100 hours standby
on a single charge.
(This does not mean you can unplug
the base or leave it for this length of
time without charge.)
Please note that new NiMH
rechargeable batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
See 'Battery performance' on the
following page.
