Battery installation
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 handset charger to charge the battery. For best
performance, keep the handset in the handset charger when not
in use. The battery is fully charged after 11 hours of continuous
charging. See the table on page 8 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank or displays
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 displays
Low battery
along with 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.
