BATTERIES
Charging the Handset Battery Pack
This battery should remain charged up to six days with the ringer turned on and up to 12 days with the ringer off. A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about five hours.
The battery pack needs charging when:
•A new battery is installed in the handset.
•The phone beeps twice every 16 seconds.
•The screen displays LOW BATTERY and the low battery icon.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light turns on. The battery pack is typically fully charged in eight hours.
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the base after each use.
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after charging overnight, the battery should be replaced.

•Use only Replacement Battery 3301 (SKU# 91076).
