Getting started
Battery installation and charging
Install the battery as shown below. 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 16 hours of continuous charging.
If the screen shows Place handset in charger and
flashes, 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 following
table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
