•If the above measures do not correct the problem, replace the battery.

The battery does not charge in the handset or the handset battery does not accept charge.

•Make sure the handset is placed in the telephone base correctly. The CHARGE light on the handset should be on.

•If the handset is in the telephone base but the CHARGE light on the handset is not on, refer to The charge light is off in this section (page 75).

•If the battery is completely depleted, it can take up to 10 minutes to charge the handset before Low battery appears on the screen (page 5).

•Clean the charging contacts on the handset and telephone base each month with a pencil eraser or a dry non-abrasive fabric.
