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 the table
on page 8 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. When the battery
is low, the handset beeps four times every minute, shows
LOW BATTERY and a ashing icon. If you are on a call
in low battery mode, the handset has four short beeps to
alert you.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators
and actions to take.
