If you replace the battery before the low battery warning appears, the battery strength
icon may display an incorrect reading. In this case, use the PS as normal with the new
battery installed. When the low battery warning is displayed, charge the battery for more
than 5.5 hours. The battery strength icon will then display a correct reading.

Important Notice Concerning the Correct Use and Charging of Ni-MH
Batteries
Batteries, due to their construction, undergo some wear and tear. The lifetime of a battery
also depends on correct maintenance. Charging and discharging are the most important
factors. You should take notice of the following to maintain the life of the battery as long
as possible.
Ni-MH batteries have a kind of memory, the “memory effect.” If fully charged batteries are
used several times only for 15 minutes in the handset and then recharged, the capacity of
the batteries will be reduced to 15 minutes due to the memory effect. Therefore you
should discharge the batteries completely, i.e. use them in the handset until “ ” on the
display starts flashing. Then recharge them as described in the manual. After the
memory effect has occurred, it is possible to achieve almost complete capacity of the
Ni-MH batteries by charging and discharging several times one after another.
Ni-MH batteries can also self-discharge. This self-discharge depends on the ambient
temperature. At temperatures under 0 °C, the self-discharge will be the lowest. High
humidity and high temperatures support the self-discharge. Also long-term storage will
lead to self-discharge. A dead Ni-MH battery should not be disposed of normally. They
contain toxic heavy metal hydride and therefore should be recycled.
