Unit. The IN USE/CHARGE indicator will light to show the

Handset is seated properly and the battery pack is charging. It is recommended that the battery pack should be charged for at least 16 hours initially. Afterwards, 8 hours of maintenance charging should be sufficient.

To replace the battery pack, follow the steps below:
