Use only the supplied AC adapters.  
Use the proper adapter for the base and any chargers.  
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight or subject it to high  
temperatures.  


Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it  
could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.  
Fully charged, the battery should provide about 10 hours of talk time  
and about 7 days of standby time. For best results, return the handset  
to the cradle after each call to keep it fully charged.  


Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too  
low, the handset shows a low battery alert. If you hear a strange beep  
during a call, check the display: if you see the low battery alert, finish  
your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the  
cradle. If the handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate.  
With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace  
the battery when the talk time becomes short even when the battery  
is charged. To buy a replacement battery, call the Parts Department  
listed on the front cover.
