•The battery needs charging when:

—A new battery is installed in the handset..

—The phone beeps twice every five seconds.

—The screen displays BATTERY LOW and the low battery icon..

•Place the handset in the base so the CHARGE light turns on.. The battery is typically fully charged in 16 hours..

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

2.Lift out the old battery and disconnect..

3.Align the two holes in the new battery’s plug with the socket pins, and snap the plug into place.. Snap the battery in the compartment, as described in Installation, on page 5..
