Battery display when inserting or
replacing a battery
When you replace the handset batteries with
ones that have been fully charged, the battery
indicator will not show full until the next
charge cycle has been completed. Charge the
handset until the batteries register full again.
From then on the display will be correct.
Battery performance
After charging your Diverse 3016 Classic
for the first time, subsequent charging time
for the handset batteries is approximately
4-5 hours. Batteries and case may become
warm during charging. This is normal and
not dangerous.
When charging for the first
time, we recommend that
you let the batteries charge
for the full 16 hours.
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 7 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.
Please note that the lifespan of NiCad
rechargeable batteries depends on how
heavily they are used. However, over time,
their capacity to recharge will begin to
diminish and they will eventually need
replacing.
Battery low warning
An LCD on the handset display shows the
current state of the charge. When the
batteries are almost flat a beep sounds and
the display shows the empty battery symbol.
Displays showing the various states of
charge are shown below:
Batteries fully charged
Batteries at 66%
Batteries at 33%
Batteries empty
