BATTERY PERfORMANCE

In ideal conditions, the fully charged battery should give up to 12 hours talk time, or
160 hours standby time, on a single charge. Note that a new battery will not reach
full capacity until it has been in normal use for several days.
To keep the batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few
hours at a time. Running the battery right down at least once a week will help it last
as long as possible. The charge capacity of the rechargeable battery will reduce with
time as it wears out, giving the handset less talk / standby time.
Eventually it will need to be replaced. A replacement battery can be obtained by
contacting TecHelp on 1300 369 193 or from your local electrical retailer.
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is about 6–8
hours a day. The battery and handset may become warm during charging, however,
this is normal.
