Battery Care and Performance

After your battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

Operation

Operating time

While in use (talking)

up to 4 hours

While not in use (standby*)

up to 4 days

* Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.

• Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or

charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the

handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on

the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how

often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.

• Once the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again

until

is displayed or

fl

ashes. This will maximize the battery life.
