7. Charge the handset
batteries for at least16 hours.
Place the handset on the base. The
handset can be charged face up or
down. Make sure that the contacts on
the bottom end of the handset are
touching both charging contacts.
When the handset batteries are
charging, the green CHARGING light
comes on – it goes off when the battery
is fully charged. It will come on again
occasionally to indicate that the battery
is being topped up.
When the handset battery has been
charged for 16 hours, the Diverse 2010
is ready to use.
Battery performance
After charging your Diverse 2010 for the
first time, subsequent charging time for the
handset batteries is approximately 4-5 hours.
Batteries and case may become warm
during charging. This is normal and not
dangerous.
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 7 hours
talktime or 60 hours standby on a single
charge (both standby and talk time is
reduced for the Diverse 2000 Executive
Handset to approximately 50 hours standby
and 6 hours talktime). However, new
NiCad batteries do not reach their full
capacity until they have been in normal use
for several days.
Please note that the lifespan of NiCad
rechargeable batteries depends on how
heavily they are used. However, over time,
their capacity to recharge will begin to
diminish and they will eventually need
replacing.
Battery display when inserting or
replacing a battery
When you replace the handset batteries with
ones that have been fully charged, the battery
indicator will not show full until the next
charge cycle has been completed. Charge the
handset until the batteries register full again.
From then on the display will be correct.
Battery low warning
An LCD on the handset display shows the
current charging level. When the batteries
are almost flat a beep sounds and the display
shows the empty battery symbol. Displays
showing that charging is in progress are
listed below:
Batteries fully charged
Batteries at 66%
Batteries at 33%
Batteries empty
Getting the most out of your
batteries
Avoid replacing the handset on the base
station between calls. It is best to keep the
handset off the base for a few hours at a
time.
