LWhen you are using fully-charged Ni-MH batteries
(supplied batteries);
In continuous use: 12 hours max.
In continuous standby mode: 150 hours max.
LIt is normal for batteries not to reach full capacity

cycles of charge/discharge (use).
LActual battery performance depends on a
combination of how often the handset is in use
and how often it is not in use (standby).

the base unit when I am not
using it?
LEven after the handset is fully charged, the
handset can be left on the base unit without any ill
effect on the batteries.

batteries?

replace the batteries with new ones.
