To charge the batteries, place the handset in the base unit. The
CHARGE
indicator will light to show the handset is seated properly and the batteries
are charging.
It is recommended that the
battery pack be charged initially for
24 hours. You can use your
telephone before that with
diminished capacity, but it is best
to let the battery pack charge fully.
To maximize the charge capacity of
the NiCad battery pack, recharge
the battery for several cycles. Once
you have properly conditioned the rechargeable battery, the maximum
battery life should be 4 hours of continuous talk time or
5
days of standby.
After initial charging, a typical maintenance charge is
8
hours.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire or injury, read and
