Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the 
handset batteries should give 
up to 12 hours talk time or 
120 hours standby on a single 
charge. (This doesn’t mean you 
can unplug the base or leave 
the handset for this length of 
time without charge).
Please note that new Ni-MH 
rechargeable batteries don’t reach 
full capacity until they’ve been in 
normal use for several days.
Battery low warning
The 
 icon will flash, you’ll 
see the message Battery low in 
the display and hear a warning 
beep every minute, to indicate 
that you need to recharge your 
handset. You can remove the 
display message by selecting 
Hide. If the battery charge 
completely runs out, the display 
will show Batteries flat. Please 
charge. You must recharge 
the handset batteries before 
you can use the handset. If the 
charge completely runs out the 
handset will switch off. Place 
the handset on the base or 
charger to charge.
