Fitting standard batteries
To fit the standard rechargeable batteries supplied into the
handset, press on the upper edge of the battery compartment
and slide it downwards. Now insert the batteries taking care to
ensure that the polarity is correct. Close the battery compartment
cover.
Important note: Place the handset in the base station with the display to
the front for at least 16 hours. The telephone may malfunction if the
batteries are not properly charged. The charging light on the base station
will come on.

Charging the standard batteries
The standard rechargeable batteries for the handset have a stand-by time of max. 85
hours at room temperature and a maximum talk time of 6 hours. To charge the
batteries, place the handset in the base station with the display to the front.
The current battery capacity is shown in the display.
Note: Exactly like your car battery, the standard rechargeable batteries are unavoidably
subject to a certain ageing. However, you can have an influence on this ageing process
by "training" the standard batteries to a certain extent. In regular use of the phone, if you
cyclically charge and fully discharge the standard batteries by using the telephone until
the
symbol flashes in the display, a demand is placed on the batteries and they
will repay you by giving maximum performance and a long life. Extended charging and
extended discharging on the other hand will both degrade the capacity and shorten the
life of the standard batteries.
