Battery Care and Maintenance
After your battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
Operation Operating time
While in use (talking) up to 4 hours
While not in use (standby*) up to 4 days
* Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.
• 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
. The battery is typically fully charged at least 16 hours.
• You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the base after each use.
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 4.
4. Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.
5. The new battery must be charged before using the phone. Place the handset in the
base and allow it to charge for at least 16 hours the first charge. The telephone might operate before that, but for
best performance, let the battery charge fully.
Batteries
• If you repeatedly get a low
battery indicator, even after
charging overnight, the
battery should be replaced.
• To reduce the risk of fire
or injury to
persons or
damage to the telephone,
charge the battery provided
with or identified for use
with this product only in
accordance
with the
inst
ructions and limitations
specified in the
user’s

• Battery power is consumed
whenever the handset is
off the base unit or charger,
even when the handset is
not in use.
• Once the battery is fully
charged, you do not have
to charge
it again until
BATTERY LOW is
displayed or flashes.
This will maximize the
battery
