4.1 Important Notes About Charging the Batteries

Note: Make sure to charge the batteries for 16 hours before using your V-250 for the first time.

• After initial charging, the power adaptor must remain connected to the main power supply and the base unit with the main power switched on. It is recommended to leave the handset charging overnight to ensure the maximum usable time.
• The batteries should hold their charge for up to 120 hours, depending on use. The batteries need replacing if the batteries do not hold a charge for more than two hours.
• If the phone is not to be used for a substantial period of time, for example during holidays, disconnect the main power adaptor. When power is reconnected it is necessary to recharge the handset for 16 hours.

5 Basic Setup and Operations

You must have a DECT GAP base station already set up with a phone connection (VoIP, PSTN or ISDN) to make external calls (A). You can also use the V-250 to make internal calls (B).
