Important Information
Replacing the Batteries
If the battery level indicator displays as empty (" ") after
using the phone for a short time, even when the
batteries have been fully charged, the batteries should
be replaced.
Before replacing the batteries, make sure the low
battery warning is displayed, then turn off the power to
prevent memory loss. Replace the batteries and charge
the new batteries for about 7 hours.
If you replace the batteries before the low battery
warning appears, the battery strength icon may display
an incorrect reading. In this case, use the handset as
normal with the new batteries installed. To install the
batteries, see "Battery Installation (Page 47)".
When the low battery warning is displayed, charge the
batteries for about 7 hours. The battery strength icon
will then display the correct reading.

Important Notice Concerning the

Correct Use and Charging of Ni-MH
Batteries
Batteries, due to their construction, undergo some wear
and tear. The lifetime of batteries also depends on
correct maintenance. Charging and discharging are the
most important factors. You should take notice of the
following to maintain the life of the batteries as long as
possible.
Ni-MH batteries have a kind of memory, the "memory
effect". If fully charged batteries are used several times
only for 15 minutes in the handset and then recharged,
the capacity of the batteries will be reduced to 15
minutes due to the memory effect. Therefore you should
discharge the batteries completely, i.e. use them in the
handset until the battery level indicator displays as
empty (" "). Then recharge them as described in the
manual. After the memory effect has occurred, it is
possible to achieve almost complete capacity of the
Ni-MH batteries by charging and discharging several
times one after another.
12 Operating Instructions
Ni-MH batteries can also self-discharge. This
self-discharge depends on the ambient temperature. At
temperatures under 0 °C (32 °F), the self-discharge will
be the lowest. High humidity and high temperatures
support the self-discharge. Also long-term storage will
lead to self-discharge.
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERIES ARE
REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE
OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS.
