Getting started
Battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see the table below). If necessary,
place the handset in the telephone base to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the
telephone base when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table
on page 36 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. When the battery is low, the handset beeps
and shows LOW BATTERY and a ashing icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset beeps
every minute.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
