Battery Charging - AT&T TL86009 User Manual

Getting started

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 the table on page 37 for battery
operating times.
If the screen shows Low battery, you need to charge the handset
without interruption for at least 25 minutes to give the handset
enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. The following
table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
