Tips on Extending Battery Pack Life

All rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium batteries can develop a "memory" (reduced charge capacity) caused
by repeated charge and discharge cycles. Batteries that have developed this effect do not operate to
their fullest capacity.
To avoid memory effect
Operate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged before recharging. For example,
use the handset off the base all day. Only replace the handset on the base at night after a full day of
use. Do not "top off" the charge after using the battery for a short time.
To erase memory effect
Operate the unit until the battery pack is completely discharged, then recharge it fully. Repeat this
process at least three times.
