Battery installation and charging
Install the battery as shown on pages 7-8. 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 34 for battery operating times.
If the screen shows
Put in charger
and flashes, 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 following table summarizes the battery charge indicators
and actions to take.
