Battery installation & charging
Install the battery as shown on the next page. After installing the battery, you
might be able to make and receive short calls. For best performance, charge
the handset for at least 16 hours before use. When not in use, place the
handset in the telephone base.
If the battery is depleted, it may take approximately ten minutes to charge the
handset before it shows LOW BATTERY. The screen continues to display LOW
BATTERY until the battery has charged for approximately one hour; the
backlight on the handset disables when in low battery mode.
