With batteries installed the display will show:
The
icon will flash while the handset searches for the base. The
fixed icon on
your handset indicates when you are in range. When it flashes, you are out of range.
4. Place the handset in the base to charge, the red charging light comes on, you hear a
beep tone and the
icon begins scrolling. You should charge the handset for at
least 24 hours on first charge, subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day.
Batteries and handset may become warm during charging, this is normal.
5. Once fully charged, plug the telephone line cord into the telephone wall socket.
Talk/Standby time
In ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give about 10 hours talk time or 100
hours standby on a single charge. The base must remain plugged in to the mains and
switched on at all times. Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they
have been in normal use for several days.

If the battery charge becomes low during a call you will hear a warning beep every
minute (provided the battery warning beeps are set to on). If the battery runs out
you will be cut off. You will need to recharge the handset before using it again.
