If the handset requires charging, this occurs
automatically when the handset is placed in
the charger. For safety reasons, the battery is
not charged prior to shipping. We
recommend that you charge the handset for
at least one hour before proceeding further
with first-time registration of the handset.
About charging …
– The charger must be connected to the power
outlet.
– It takes four hours to fully charge the battery.
– The maximum talk-time per charge is
approximately 15 hours.
– Standby time per charge is approximately 180
hours.
The handset controls the battery charging, so you
can always place the handset in the charger after
use, even if the battery does not need recharging.
Leaving the handset in the charger does not
reduce the lifetime of the battery.
The handset display informs you when the
batteries require charging. If you have an active
call, a beep signal sounds from the handset as
well.
