»

The handset starts charging.

being charged, it is normal.

 

Over time, capacity of batteries decreases. This is a 

normal battery behavior.

Your phone is now ready to use.

Check the battery level

  

The battery icon displays the current battery 

level.

When the handset is off the base 

station/charger, the bars indicate 

the battery level (from full to low).

When the handset is on the base 

station/charger, the bars flash until 

charging is complete.
The empty battery icon flashes. 

The battery is low and needs 

recharging.

If you are on the phone, you hear warning 

tones when the batteries are almost empty. 

The handset turns off when the batteries are 

completely empty.

What is standby mode?

Your phone is in standby mode when it is idle. 

When the handset is off the charging cradle, 

the standby screen displays the date and time. 

When the handset is on the charging cradle, 

the standby screen displays the time as a screen 

saver.
