Getting started

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 11 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 66 for battery operating times.

If the screen is blank or displays Put in charger, you need to charge the handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset displays Low battery along with a flashing icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset plays short beeps to alert you.

The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
