Handset Battery Charging - VTech DS6673-2 User Manual

Getting started

Handset 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 handset
charger to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the
telephone base or handset charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged
after 12 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 83 for battery
operating times.
If the screen is blank or displays Place in charger, 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 flashing icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode,
the handset plays short beeps to alert you.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
