How long is the battery
operating time?
LWhen you are using fully-charged Ni-MH batteries
(supplied batteries);
In continuous use: 15 hours max.

LIt is normal for batteries not to reach full capacity
at the initial charge. Maximum battery
performance is reached after a few complete
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).
