Battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery
status (see the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the
telephone base to charge the battery. For best performance, keep
the handset in the telephone base when not in use. The battery is
fully charged after 16 hours of continuous charging. See page 26 for
battery operating times.
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without
interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the
telephone for a short time. The screen shows LOW BATTERY until you have charged the
battery without interruption for at least 30 minutes. The following table summarizes the
battery charge indicators and actions to take.
