The batteries do not hold a charge.
If the cordless handset is in the telephone base or charger and the charge 
light is not on, refer to The charge light is off (page 70).
Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 10 hours. For 
optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone 
base or charger when not in use.

charge the handset before it shows Low battery. Refer to the table on 
page 8 for details.
