Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the 
handset batteries should give 
up to 12 hours talk time or 
120 hours standby on a single 
charge. (This doesn’t mean you 
can unplug the base or leave 
the handset for this length of 
time without charge).
Please note that new Ni-MH 
rechargeable batteries don’t 
reach full capacity until  
they’ve been in normal use 
for several days.
Battery low warning
The 
 icon will flash and you 
will hear a warning beep every 
minute, to indicate that you 
need to recharge your handset 
before you can use it.
