A new battery is installed in the handset.

Place the handset in the base or carger so the CHARGING light turns on.The battery is typically fully charged in 10 hours.

You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the base or charger after each use.

If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after charging overnight, the battery should be replaced.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:

Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this user’s manual.
