● The use of other types of batteries or of non-recharge-
able batteries can cause malfunctions and can even
damage the equipment. The manufacturer does not
accept responsibility under these circumstances.
Please note the following guidelines when starting
and using batteries:
● Each time you use your handset, you can replace it in
the charging unit. Charging is controlled electronically.
This ensures that the batteries are charged to
capacity.
● At the outset, charge the batteries to full capacity. We
recommend that you charge them for a continuous
period of 16 hours, e.g. overnight. During the first
week of operation, place the handsets in the charging
unit at frequent intervals.
● Generally, new batteries only achieve their full capac-
ity, i.e. full call or availability time, after several days of
normal use. Although the battery LED indicates that
the batteries in the handset have been charged – LED
of – during this initial phase, it should be expected
that the normal call and in-service times will not be
achieved.
● After the batteries have been charged for the first
time (recommended time approx. 16 hours), they nor-
mally reach normal operating status. It is advisable to
recharge them frequently.
Note: operating time is low when the batteries are
not fully charged.
● Ensure that the contacts do not come into contact
with metal or oily parts.
● Battery charging times (at room temperature)
–
in handset approx. 4-5 hours
(NiCd batteries)
– in charger: approx. 8-9 hours
(NiMH batteries,
1100 mAh)
● If the LED lights up from time to time, this indicates
that “trickle charging” is taking place.
Never use ordinary batteries.
