When installing and using the rechargeable
batteries, please follow the rules below:
● Initially charge the batteries thoroughly. We recom-
mend charging the batteries for approximately 16
hours without interruption (overnight for example).
During the first week of operation, continually replace
the handsets in the charging unit for recharging.
● New batteries do not usually reach their full capacity
(i.e. maximum time when the telephone is in use and
stand-by time) until they have been in normal use for
several days. Although the battery LED indicates that
the rechargeable batteries of a handset have been
charged (LED off), you must assume during this initial
phase that the capacity may not reach that of maxi-
mum time when the telephone is in use, or that of
stand-by time.
● Stand-by time
– Up to 70 hours (NiCd, 650 mAh)
– Up to 110 hours (NiMH, 1100 mAh)
– Up to 130 hours (NiMH, 1300 mAh)
● When the telephone is in use
– Up to 7 hours (NiCd, 650 mAh)
– Up to 11 hours (NiMH, 1100 mAh)
– Up to 13 hours (NiMH, 1300 mAh)
● After they have initially been thoroughly charged, the
rechargeable batteries are fully operative. For normal
operation, we recommend that the handsets are not
placed in the charging unit each time a call is complet-
ed. The rechargeable batteries should be discharged
from time to time.
Caution: partially discharged batteries only offer lim-
ited operating time.
● Make sure that the contacts do not touch metal or
oily objects.
● Battery charging times
– Charging time in the handset
NiCd approx. 4–5 hours
NiMH 1100 mAh approx. 8–9 hours
– Charging time in the charging unit
backup battery compartment
NiCd approx. 24 hours
NiMH 1100 mAh approx. 40 hours
● The LED display lights up occasionally to indicate that
float charging is taking place.
