13 BASIC OPERATION
Charging the Battery
The Parent Unit will work for up to 10 hours with fully
charged batteries. If a battery low alert tone is heard and
the battery icon on the Parent Unit's display is fl ashing, you
should put the parent unit on the Charger Pod to recharge
the batteries. You can still use your Parent Unit from the
Charger Pod. When charging, the red power light on the
charger will light steadily.
When you switch on your Parent Unit, the battery icon
on the display will indicate the current charge level of the
batteries.
Note:
The parent unit can be used on or off the charger pod.
When on the charger pod, the batteries will be recharged
at the same time. However, the time it takes to charge the
batteries to full will be longer when the unit is charged and
used at the same time.
The Parent Unit can't be operated on the charging cradle
without batteries.
Rechargeable batteries in the Parent unit give up to 10
hours continuous usage. Please note however, that new
batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Running rechargeable batteries right down at least once a
week will help them last as long as possible. The charge
capacity of recharge batteries will reduce with time as they
age, so reducing the performance time of the parent unit.
Eventually they will need to be replaced.
