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 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 16 hours of continuous

charging. See the table on page 47 for battery operating times.

If the screen is blank, 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. When the battery is low, the handset displays Low battery along with a

ashing icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset beeps every

50 seconds.

The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
