Battery charging

Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the
battery status (see the following table). 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. See Technical specifications on page 72
for battery charging and 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. The screen shows LoW
BATTERy until you have charged the battery without interruption for at least
30 minutes. The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and
actions to take.
