BATTERY PERfORMANCE
In ideal conditions, the fully charged battery should give
up to 12 hours talk time, or 160 hours standby time, on a
single charge. Note that a new battery will not reach full
capacity until it has been in normal use for several days.
To keep the batteries in the best condition, leave the
handset off the base for a few hours at a time. Running
the battery right down at least once a week will help
it last as long as possible. The charge capacity of the
rechargeable battery will reduce with time as it wears
out, giving the handset less talk / standby time.
Eventually it will need to be replaced. A replacement
battery can be obtained by contacting TecHelp on
1300 369 193 or from your local electrical retailer.
subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. The
battery and handset may become warm during charging,
however, this is normal.
