Installation
Batteries
The telephone is supplied with environmentally friendly nickel
metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, 2 x AAA 1.2V. As with all batteries
performance may degrade over time, should you notice that the standby
time has reduced considerably or there are signs of leakage, both
batteries should be replaced.
Fully charged batteries will last for approx 190 hours in standby or
approx 12 hours call time. The stated times apply under normal room
temperatures and when using fully charged batteries.
Completely discharged batteries will take about 14 hours to fully
recharge (24 hours from new).
Please note that the battery charge indicator in the display fl ashes while in the display fl ashes while
charging. The fl ashing will stop when the battery is fully charged.
The base unit has an automatic charging mechanism that prevents the
batteries from being overcharged or damaged due to prolonged charging.
Please note!
To ensure and maintain good charging of the handset battery/s we recommend that the
base and handset charge contacts are cleaned regularly, ie monthly, with a pencil eraser
and/or a soft dry cloth.
When the telephone is installed for the fi rst time, the batteries must be charged for 24
hours before using the telephone. Use DORO original batteries only. The guarantee

the keypad facing outwards. Please dispose of any batteries in a responsible and
environmentally friendly manner.
