Important Notice Concerning the Correct
Use and Charging of a Ni-MH Battery
Use and Charging of a Ni-MH Battery
Batteries, due to their construction, undergo some wear and tear. The life 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
battery life for as long as possible.
A Ni-MH battery has the "memory effect". If a fully charged battery is used
several times only for 15 minutes in the handset and then recharged, the
capacity of the battery will be reduced to 15 minutes due to this effect.
Therefore, you should discharge the battery completely, i.e. use it in the handset

until "
" on the display starts flashing. Then recharge it as described in the
manual. After the memory effect has occurred, it is possible to achieve almost
full capacity from the Ni-MH battery by charging and discharging several times
one after another.
A Ni-MH battery can also self-discharge which depends on the ambient
temperature. At temperatures under 0°C, it will be at its lowest. At high humidity
and high temperatures, it will be at its highest. Also long-term storage will lead to
self-discharge. An exhausted Ni-MH battery should not be disposed of normally.
It contains toxic heavy metal Hydride and therefore should be recycled.
