Charging of the Handset Battery
The handset of your cordless telephone is powered by
rechargeable battery. It charges automatically whenever
the handset is in its base unit.
You should charge the batteries for 10-12 hours when

activate when you press the keys.
IMPORTANT:
1. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, they might explode.
2. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Toxic substances may be released, causing
harm to eyes or skin.

charge contacts, potentially causing the batteries to overheat.

recycled.
