Getting started
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 16 hours of continuous charging.
If the screen shows Place handset 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.
