seconds, you will need to recharge the
handset before you can use it again.
During charging, the icon will scroll
in the display.
Talk/Standby time
In ideal conditions, fully charged
handset batteries should give up to
10 hours talk time or up to 100 hours
standby time on a single charge. The
base must remain plugged in to the
mains and switched on at all times.
Note that new batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off the
base for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down at
least once a week will help them last as
long as possible.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging time is
about 6–8 hours a day.
Batteries and handset may become
warm during charging. This is normal.
