Getting started
Battery charging
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 telephone base or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged
after 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 99 for battery
operating times.
If the screen shows Low battery, you need to charged the battery without
interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use
the telephone for a short time. The following table summarizes the battery
charge indicators and actions to take.
