Battery installation and charging
Install the battery, as shown below. Once you have installed the battery, the
screen indicates the battery status (see the following table). If necessary,
place the handset in the telephone base or charger to charge the battery.
For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone base or charger
when not in use. The battery is fully charged after ten hours of continuous
charging. See the table on page 124 for battery operating times.
If the screen shows Place in charger and flashes, 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. The following table
summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
