Battery Charging - AT&T EL52265 Quick Start Manual

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 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 Technical specifications on page 42 for battery 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.
