Battery Care and Maintenance

After your battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
Operation
While in use (talking)
While not in use (standby*)
* Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.
• A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about 8 hours.
• The battery needs charging when:
— A new battery is installed in the handset.
— The phone beeps twice every five seconds.
— The screen displays LOW BATTERY and the low battery icon.
• Place the handset in the charger so the CHARGE light turns on. The battery is typically fully
charged in 16 hours.
• You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the charger 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 3.
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 charger 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.
