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 97 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.
