Getting started
Handset battery installation and charging
Install the battery as shown on the next page. Once you have 
installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see table 
below). If necessary, place the handset in the charger to charge the 
battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the charger when 
not in use. The battery is fully charged after 16 hours of continuous 
charging. See the table on page 78 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without 
interruption for at least 10 minutes to give the handset enough 
charge to use the telephone for a short time. The screen flashes 
Low battery until you have charged the battery without interruption 
for at least one hour. The following table summarizes the battery 
charge indicators and actions to take.
