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.
