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 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
10 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 8 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. When the battery is
low, the handset plays four short beeps and shows LOW BATTERY
along with a flashing icon. When you are on a call in low battery
mode, the handset plays four short beeps every 50 seconds.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and
actions to take.
