Replacing handset batteries
After a time, you may find that the
handset batteries are running out of
charge more quickly. This is a standard
sign of wear and the batteries will need
replacing with approved batteries.
Recommended batteries should have a
power rating of 600m Ah 1.2V. Batteries
Use only AA size nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cad) rechargeable batteries in the
handset. Any other types may cause
irreparable damage. A list of suitable
batteries is shown on page 7.
Do not immerse batteries in water or
throw them into fire, or dispose of them
with ordinary domestic refuse.
To charge batteries, only use the plug-in
power supply station provided.
Full charged batteries do not
indicate full power when put into a
handset
When you replace 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.
Please note that the lifespan of NiCad
rechargeable batteries depends on how
heavily they are used. However, over
time, their capacity to recharge will
begin to diminish and they will
eventually need replacing.
