Getting Started
Charging of the Handset Battery Cells
The Handset of your cordless telephone is powered by rechargeable battery cells. It
charges automatically whenever the Handset is in its charger or Base Unit.
You should charge the battery cells for at least 12 hours when you first
receive your phone.
You’ll know the battery cells needs charging when:
•
The low battery message and the icon are
displayed.
•
The Handset seems completely dead, the LCD
is completely clear and does not activate when
you press the keys.
NOTE:
When in
LOW BATTERY
mode, the keypad
sounds, backlighting and speakerphone features
will not work. When your battery cells have been
charged, your features will return to their normal
function.
LOW BATTERY
Setup
Installation and Charge of Battery Cells in Handset

charged, place the Handset in its
Charger or Base Unit, and allow it to

hours should be sufficient.
