Battery installation and charging
Install the battery as shown below. After installing the battery, you might be able
to make and receive short calls. For best performance, charge the handset for
at least 16 hours before use. When the battery power is low, the handset will
beep, display LOW BATTERY and will flash on the handset screen. Place the
handset in the telephone base or charger to charge the battery when not in use.
See the table on page 51 for battery operating times.
Insert the plug of the battery as indicated. Make sure it is plugged securely
and matches the color-coded label inside the battery compartment.
Place the battery with the label
THIS SIDE UP facing up and the wires inside
the battery compartment.
Align the cover flat against the battery compartment, then slide it upwards
until it clicks into place.
Charge the handset by placing it in the telephone base or charger. The handset
charge light will be on when charging.
