Battery installation & charging

you can make and receive short calls. Place the handset in
the telephone base or charger when not in use. For optimal
performance, charge the handset battery for at least 16 hours
before use. See the table on page 31 for battery operating times.
If the battery is depleted, it may take approximately 10 minutes
to charge the handset before it shows LOW BATTERY. The screen
