Battery installation and charging
Install the battery, as shown on page 11. 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 16 hours of continuous charging. See
the table on page 39 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank or shows
Put in charger
and a flashing
, 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 shows
Low
battery
and a flashing
. If you are on a call in low battery mode,
the handset beeps every minute.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and
