Getting started
Battery installation and charging
Install the battery, as shown on pages 7 and 8. 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 11 hours
of continuous charging. See the table on page 37 for battery
operating times.
If the screen is blank or shows
Place in charger
and a flashing ,
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. When the battery is low, the handset
shows
Low battery
and a flashing . If you are on a call in low
battery mode, the handset beeps every minute.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and
actions to take.
