7 Installing the rechargeable
batteries in the handset
The handset uses the two AA size nickel
cadmium (NiCad) batteries supplied. Hold the
handset with the keypad facing down and slide
open the battery compartment.
Insert the batteries as indicated on the label
inside the battery compartment and slide the
battery compartment cover shut.
8 Fitting the handset carrying clip
Fit the carrying clip onto the back of the
handset.
9 Charging the handset batteries
for at least 16 hours
Place the handset on the base. The handset
can be charged face up or down.
When the handset batteries are charging, the
green
CHARGING light comes on.
When the handset battery has been charged
for 16 hours, the Diverse 1010 is ready to use.
Battery low warning
flashes and handset beeps to warn you
that the batteries are within 5-10 minutes of being
completely flat.
Normal battery charging time
After charging your Diverse 1010 for the first time,
normal charging time for the handset batteries is
approximately 4-5 hours. Batteries and case
become warm during charging. This is normal and
not dangerous.
Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries
should give about 6.5 hours talktime or 60 hours
standby on a single charge. However, new NiCad
batteries do not reach their full capacity until they
have been in normal use for several days.
Getting the most out of your batteries
Avoid replacing the handset on the base unit
between calls. It is best to keep the handset off the
base for a few hours at a time.
