Getting started
Battery installation and charging
Install the battery, as shown below. Once you have installed the battery, the 
screen indicates the battery status (see the following table). If necessary, place 
the handset in the telephone base or charger to charge the battery. For best 
performance, keep the handset in the telephone base or charger when not in 
use. The battery is fully charged after 10 hours of continuous charging. See the 
table on page 66 for battery operating times.
If the screen shows Place in charger and   flashes, you need to charge the 
handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset 
enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. The following table 
summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
