(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

charging. See the table on page 33 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. When the battery is low, the handset beeps and
