29MAXIMIZE BATTERY PERFORMANCEThe freedom that your cordless telephone can offer is fully dependent on theperformance of the rechargeable battery in the handset. To maximize the batteryperformance, follow these guidelines:Charge it for a full 12 hoursBefore initial use of your new battery, charge it for 12 hours continuously. Theproper initial charging is very important to maximize the battery performance.Keep the contacts cleanYou can never fully recharge the battery if the contacts are dirty. Clean all thecontacts - two at the bottom of the handset and two in the base cradle -periodically. Use a clean pencil eraser or superfine steelwool to clean thecharging contacts. Avoid touching the cabinet area of the phone, or scratchesmay occur.Refresh batteryIf your battery seems to need recharging more often than usual, it may have lostpart of its charging capacity. To bring back its full capacity, try “refreshing” thebattery:1. First discharge the battery by leaving the handset in TALK mode until BatteryLow indication turns on. (Disconnect the base from the telephone line, so thatyour line is not busy all the time.)2. Then charge it for 12 continuous hours.3. Repeat the above once more. As your PhoneMate PM5821, PM5825, PM5827and PM5805 products use a Ni-MH battery you are free to leave your handsetin the base charger for as long as you like, without effecting the performanceof the battery life.PM5821manual 21mar.p65 2006/5/12, ¤U¤È 05:4929
30TECHNICAL INFORMATIONREN Number:The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)assigned to each terminal’s deviceprovides an indication of the maximumnumber of terminals allowed to beconnected to a telephone interface.The REN number of this phone islocated on the bottom of the base unit.The termination on an interface mayconsist of any combination of devicesubject only to the requirement thatthe sum of the Ringer EquivalenceNumbers of all the devices does notexceed 5.CAUTIONThis product is intended for use in theUSA and CANADA only. Sale or usein other countries may violate locallaws.Cordless telephones use radiofrequencies to allow mobility. Thisaffects the performance of yourphone.1. NOISEElectrical pulse noise is present inmost homes at one time or another.This is most intense during electricalstorms. Certain kinds of electricalequipment, such as light dimmers,fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc.,also generate pulse noise.Because radio frequencies aresusceptible to this, you may onoccasion hear pulse noise throughthe handset. This is usually only aminor annoyance and should not beinterpreted as a defect of the phone.2. RANGEBecause radio frequencies are used,the location of the base station canaffect the operating range of thephone. Try several locations andchoose the one that gives theclearest signal to the handset.(Turning in a circle while holding thehandset may also increase theoperating range.)3. INTERFERENCEElectronic circuits activate a relay toconnect the unit to your telephoneline. These electronic circuits operatein the radio frequency spectrum.While several protection circuits areused to prevent unwanted signals,there may be periods when theseunwanted signals enter the basestation. You may hear a click or hearthe relay activate when you are notusing the cordless handset. If thisoccurs frequently, you can minimizeor eliminate the problem by loweringthe height of the base station orrelocating the base station. It may alsobe helpful to change the operatingchannel and/or the security codesetting.Operation is subject to the followingtwo conditions: (1) this device maynot cause interference, and (2) thisdevice must accept any interference,including interference that may causeundesired operation of the device.PM5821manual 21mar.p65 2006/5/12, ¤U¤È 05:4930
