Battery charging
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
Technical specifications
on page 43 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank, 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 screen shows
Low battery
until you have charged the battery without
interruption for at least 30 minutes. The following table summarizes the battery
charge indicators and actions to take.
