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 the table on page 58 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank or displays Place in charger, 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. 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.
