Getting started
Battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status
(see the table below). 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 the table on page 9 for battery
operating times.
If the screen is blank or shows
Place in charger, 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
icon. If you are on a call in
low battery mode, the handset plays short beeps to alert you.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions
to take.
