Battery installation and charging
Install the battery as shown on the next page. Once you have installed the
battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see 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 charger when not in
use. The battery is fully charged after 16 hours of continuous charging. See
the table on page 68 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. The screen shows LOW BATTERY and the
backlight is off until you have charged the battery without interruption for at
least one hour. The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators
and actions to take.
