Getting started
Battery installation and charging
Install the battery, as shown below. 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 147 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank or shows Put in charger and a flashing , 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 shows Low battery and a flashing . 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
