Charging the Handset Battery Pack

This battery should remain charged up to 15 days with the Ringer turned on and up to 30 days with the Ringer off. A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about 10 hours.

The battery pack needs charging when:

A new battery is installed in the handset.

The phone beeps four times when you press P.

The battery status symbol on the screen is only partly displayed.

The phone does not respond when you press P.

Place the handset in the base either in the face-down or face-up position so the CHARGING/HANDSET IN USE light turns on. The battery pack is typically fully charged in six 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 six hours of charging, the battery should be replaced.
