Battery installation & charging
Install the battery as shown below. After installing the battery, you can make
and receive short calls. Place the handset in the charger when not in use. For
optimal performance, charge the handset battery for at least 16 hours before
use. See the table on page 84 for battery operating times.
If the battery is depleted, it may take approximately 10 minutes to charge
the handset before it shows
LOW BATTERY. The screen continues to display
LOW BATTERY until the battery has charged for approximately one hour; the
backlight on the handset disables when in
LOW BATTERY mode. Refer to the
