Battery care and performance
After the battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
Operation Operating time
While in use (talking) up to 7.5 hours
While not in use (standby*) up to 3.5 days
* Handset is off the telephone base or charger but not in use.
• The battery needs charging when:
— A new battery is installed in the handset.
— The phone beeps twice every five seconds.
— The screen displays
LOW BATTERY and the low battery icon.
• Place the handset in the telephone base so the CHARGE light turns on. The battery is usually fully
charged in about 16 hours.
• You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the telephone base after each use.
• If you repeatedly
get a low battery
indicator, even
after charging
overnight, the
battery should be
replaced.
• To reduce the
risk of fire or
injury to persons
or damage to the
telephone, read
and follow these
instructions
carefully: Charge
the battery

or identified for
use with this
product only in
accordance with
the instructions
and limitations
specified in the

Replace the handset battery
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset by pressing on the
indentation and sliding the cover downward.
. Lift out the old battery and disconnect.
3. Align the two holes in the new battery’s plug with the socket pins, and snap
the plug into place. Snap the battery in the compartment, as described in
Installation, on page 7.
4. Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.
5. The new battery must be fully charged before installing it into the phone. Place
the handset in the telephone base and allow it to charge for at least 16 hours the
first charge. The telephone might operate before that, but for best performance,
let the battery charge fully.
