• The battery needs charging when:
—A new battery is installed in the handset.
—The phone beeps twice every five seconds.
—The screen displays LOW BATTERY and the low battery icon.
•Place the handset in the base so the CHARGE light turns on. The battery is usually fully charged in about 16 hours.

Replace 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 fully charged before using the phone. Place the handset in the base or charger 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.
