Batteries About the Handset Batteries The handset of your cordless telephone is powered by rechargeable batteries. The patented Battery-Saver feature extends the life of these batteries, and lets you use the phone for longer periods between charges. The batteries charge automatically whenever the handset is in the base. If you usually leave the handset in the base between calls, that's enough to keep the batteries charged. [. . . ]
