300 metres outdoors when there is
a clear line of sight between the
base and handset. When there is
no clear line of sight between the
base and handset, e.g. base
indoors and handset either indoors
or outdoors, the range could be
reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone
walls severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset
screen indicates when you are in
range. When you are out of range,
it flashes.

even when the batteries are fully
charged.
Talk/Standby time

handset batteries should give up
to 8 hours talktime or 80 hours
standby on a single charge.

a warning beep. Start recharging
your handset right away.

normal use for several days.
