•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, charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in the user’s manual.
•Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.
•Once the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again until
BATTERY LOW is displayed
or 
flashes. This will maximize the battery life.
