SETTING UP
Battery level icons
When the batteries are almost flat a
beep sounds and the display shows the
empty battery icon. You will need to
recharge your handset before you can
use it. The various states of charge are
shown below:
Batteries fully charged
Batteries at 66%
Batteries at 33%
Batteries empty
Out of range?
If you go out of range of a base station
for a long time while your handset is
switched ON, it may take more than
20 minutes to ‘find’ the base station
again when you come back within
range. However, by simply switching
the handset OFF for a moment, then
ON again, it will find the base station
within a few seconds.
Battery performance
Batteries and case may become warm
during charging. This is normal.
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 13 hours
talktime or 170 hours standby time on
a single charge. However, new NiMH
batteries do not reach their full
capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, so reducing the talk/standby
time of the handset. Eventually they
will need to be replaced. New batteries
are available from
www.withandwithoutwires.com
or call 0870 240 5522.
If you replace the handset batteries
with ones that have been fully charged,
the battery indicator will not show full
until the next charge cycle has been
completed. Charge the handset until
the batteries register full again. From
then on the display will be correct.
