HANDSET BATTERIES
Charging the Handset Battery Pack
The handset batteries need charging when:
•The handset beeps four times when you press P.
•The low battery symbol is visible on the display on the handset.
•The phone does not respond when you press Pand no lights go on.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light goes on. The batteries will be fully charged in four hours. Once the batteries are fully charged, you need only put the handset in the base when the PWR RESERVE BATT LOW light flashes.
If it is more convenient for you, you can leave the handset in the base all the time. It is impossible to overcharge the batteries. If you get a low battery signal even after four hours of charging, the battery should be replaced.
