Battery installation & 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 37 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.
