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 37 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.
