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 51 for battery
operating times.
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for
at least 10
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
CPFCƀCUJKPI
icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset
has four short beeps to alert you.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions
to take.
