Getting started
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 to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in
the telephone base when not in use. The battery is fully charged after
16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 25 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. When the battery is low, the handset displays
Low battery along with a ashing icon. If you are on a call in low battery
mode, the handset beeps every 50 seconds.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions
to take.
