BATTERY PERFORMANCE
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 10 hours talk
time or up to 200 hours standby time on a single charge.

Note that new batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been
put to normal use for several days.
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base
for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as
long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, giving the handset less talk / standby time. Eventually they will
need to be replaced.
After charging your handset for the rst time, subsequent charging time is
about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during
charging. This is normal.

All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected
and usage pattern.
