Battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates
the battery status (see the 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
Technical specifications
on page 81 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. The screen shows
Low battery
until you have
charged the battery without interruption for at least 30 minutes. The
following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
