Handset battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the handset indicates the battery
status (see the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the
telephone base to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the
handset in the telephone base when not in use. The battery is fully
charged after 11 hours of continuous charging.
If the screen is blank or displays
Place in charger, you need to charge
the handset battery without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the
handset enough charge to use 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.
