Charging And Operating Times - Philips G355 User Manual

• Charge the battery for at least 6 hours before you use the handset for
the first time. This protective measure extends the service life of the
batteries.
• The batteries attain maximum power output only after several
charging and discharging cycles.
• Do not leave the handset connected to the charger for more than a
month without using it.
• You can charge and discharge the batteries hundreds of times, but
eventually they wear out. If the operating time (talk and standby time)
becomes significantly shorter than usual, replace the batteries.
• To maintain optimum operating time, periodically discharge the
batteries by leaving the handset off the charger and switched on, until
the handset switches itself off. Use only this method to discharge the
batteries.
• Extreme temperatures influence the charging capability of the
batteries.

Charging and operating times

Discharged batteries require no more than 8 hours to completely
recharge. Completely charged batteries provide the handset with upto 12
hours of talk time and 120 hours of standby time.
WARNING
The talk time and standby time are influenced by the
use of the handset. Influencing these times are e.g.,
display activities, alerting, use of Bluetooth, wlking
around a lot (causing many hand overs), and so on.
Your handset displays the battery status accurately after
charging for at least 6 hours.
When removing and replacing the battery pack your
handset will not give the battery status accurately until
charging for at least 6 hours.
