Getting started
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 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 60 for battery
operating times.
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for
at least 10 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone
for a short time. The handset beeps and shows Low battery. If you are on a
call in low battery mode, the handset beeps every minute.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions
to take.
