Maximizing Handset Battery
Life
To maximize the battery life, fully dis-
charge the battery and recharge it occa-
sionally.
Simply unplug your telephone line cord from
the wall telephone jack.
Press TALK and allow the handset to remain
on for 10 to 14 hours.
Then, reconnect the phone cord to the wall
telephone jack.
Return the handset to the base and allow it to
fully charge for 12 hours.
Doing this process monthly reduces the
memory buildup that occurs from frequent,
partial charging.
