Battery installation and charging
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 or charger to
charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset
in the telephone base or charger when not in use. The
battery is fully charged after 10 hours of continuous
charging. See Technical specifications on page 74 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.
notes:
If you are on a call in low battery mode, you hear 4 short beeps every 50 seconds.
If no battery is installed in the handset when you place it in the telephone base or charger,
the CHArGE light does not turn on and the screen shows NO BATTEry. Follow the
instructions in Battery installation on page 5 to install the battery.
