Fully-charged batteries (10 hours charging) will last for approx. 120 hours standby time or
approx. 10 hours call time. These operation times apply at normal room temperature.
Full battery capacity will not be reached until the batteries have been charged 4-5 times.
The base unit has an automatic charging mechanism that prevents the batteries from being
overcharged or damaged due to prolonged charging.
