3)Slide the battery compartment cover back on the handset.

Battery low warning

If the icon flashes in the display, you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again. During charging, the icon in the display will scroll.

Battery performance

Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.

Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.

Tip!

It is good practice to put the cordless handset on the charging cradle when it is not in use to ensure that the handset is always fully charged.
