Battery installation and charging
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
Technical specifications on page 73 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank, 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. The screen shows LOW BATTERY until you
have charged the battery without interruption for at least 30 minutes. The
following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
