LWhen you are using fully-charged Ni-MH batteries

In continuous standby mode: 150 hours max.

LIt is normal for batteries not to reach full capacity

cycles of charge/discharge (use).

LActual battery performance depends on a

combination of how often the handset is in use

and how often it is not in use (standby).

the base unit when I am not

using it?

LEven after the handset is fully charged, the

handset can be left on the base unit without any ill

effect on the batteries.

batteries?

LIf the batteries are fully charged until 1 is

displayed, but 3 is displayed after a few calls,

replace the batteries with new ones.

What is a PIN? LThe PIN is a 4-digit number that must be entered

in order to change certain base unit settings. The

default PIN is “0000”.
