Battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see
the table below). For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone base
or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after hours of
continuous charging.
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 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.
