Operation Operating time
In continuous use 17 hours max.
Not in use (standby) 330 hours max.
Note:
R A
ctual battery performance depends on usage
and ambient environment.
R When eco mode is set to “Eco Plus”, the
base unit stops communicating with the handset
while it is in standby mode. As a result, the
handset uses more power than usual to search
for the base unit and therefore battery usage
time is shortened (page 16).
