Battery Care and Maintenance

After your battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

Operation

Operating time

While in use (talking)

up to 5 hours

 

 

While not in use (standby*)

up to 6 days

 

 

*Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.

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.

Replacing the Handset Battery

1.Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset by pressing on the indentation and sliding the cover downward.

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.

4.Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.

5.The new battery must be charged before using the phone. Place the handset in the base and allow it to charge for at

least 16 hours the first charge. The telephone might operate before that, but for best performance, let the battery charge fully.

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

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

t h e b a t t e r y p r o v i d e d w i t h or identified for u s e w i t h t h i s product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in the user’s manual.
