fast charge compartment at the same time.
NOTE:
Before you use the MDW 9010 handset for the first time, the battery pack must be
charged.
Low Battery Indicator
When the handset is on and the battery power is low, the handset will emit two beeps and
the BATT indicator in the handset display will flash. When this occurs, you have approxi-
mately 1 to 2 minutes of talk time left. At this point, you can either:

Complete your call, turn the handset off, and recharge the battery pack, or
If you have a charged spare battery pack, place your call on Hold and replace the
handset battery pack with the spare battery pack from the fast charge compartment of
the battery charger. Wait 6 to 10 seconds, then turn the handset on and proceed as you
would for any call placed on Hold.
NOTE:
If you continue talking, the handset will turn off when the battery pack is drained. Your
call will be placed on Hold automatically so you can swap battery packs.
Extending Battery Life
Although a battery pack can be charged in the handset when the handset rests in the battery
charger’s handset cradle, the fast charge compartment’s refresh process is optimized to
give a much faster and more efficient charge to the pack. The fast charge compartment fully
discharges the battery pack before recharging it, thereby ensuring the best possible charge.
The following table shows how long refreshing takes, depending on how much charge is
left in the battery pack when you insert it into the fast charge compartment:
