Battery Care and Maintenance

After your battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

Operation

Operating time

While in use (talking)

up to 4 hours

While not in use (standby*)

up to 4 days

* Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.

•  The battery needs charging when:
  — A new battery is installed in the handset.
  — The phone beeps twice every ﬁve seconds.
  — The screen displays

BATTERY LOW

and the low battery icon.

• Place the handset in the base. The battery is typically fully charged

at least 16 hours.

• You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to

the base after each use.

Replacing the Handset Battery

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset by pressing

on the indentation and sliding the cover downward.

2. Lift out the old battery and disconnect.

3. Align the two holes in the new battery’s plug with the socket pins,

and snap the plug into place. Snap the battery in the compartment,
as described in

Installation

, on page 4.

4. Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.

5. The new battery must be charged before using the phone. Place

the handset in the base and allow it to charge for at least 16 hours

the ﬁrst charge. The telephone might operate before that, but for

best performance, let the battery charge fully.

• If you repeatedly

get a low battery

indicator, even after

charging overnight,

the battery should

be replaced.

• To reduce the risk

of ﬁre or injury to

persons or damage

to the telephone,

charge the battery

provided with or

identiﬁed for use

with this product

only in accordance

with the instructions

and limitations

speciﬁed in the

user`s manual.

• Battery power is

consumed whenever

the handset is off

the base unit, even

with the handset is

not in use.

• Once the battery

is fully charged,

you do not have to

charge it again until

BATTERY LOW

i s d i s p l a y e d o r

flashes. This

will maximize the

battery life.
