Battery Care and Maintenance
A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about six hours.
The battery needs charging when:
A new battery is installed in the handset.
The phone beeps twice every five seconds.
The screen displays BATTERY LOW and the low battery icon.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light turns on.The battery
is typically fully charged in 15 hours.
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the base
after each use.
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after charging overnight,
the battery should be replaced.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage
to the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:
Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this
product only in accordance with the instructions and
limitations specified in the User’s Manual.
Replacing the Handset Battery
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset by pressing on the
indentation and sliding the cover downward.
2. Lift out the old Battery and disconnect.
3. Align the two holes in the new battery’s plug with the socket pins, and snap
the plug into place. Snap the battery in the compartment, as described in
Installation, on page 6.
4. Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.

set in the base and allow it to charge for at least 15 hours the first charge.

battery charge fully.
