Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off of the base unit, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off of the base unit, the time you can actually talk on the handset will be shortened. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in TALK mode and how often it is in Standby mode. ≥If the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the handset on the base unit until “RECHARGE” and “ ” are displayed. This will maximize the battery life. ≥If you want to keep the battery fully charged at all times, place the handset on the base unit when handset is not used.
