LWhen you are using fully-charged Ni-MH batteries
(supplied batteries);
In continuous use: 12 hours max.
In continuous standby mode: 150 hours max.
LIt is normal for batteries not to reach full capacity

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.
When should I replace the
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”.
