24.2.1 Charging the Handset
Once you have installed the batteries, you need to charge them before initial operation.
Note: Charge the batteries for at least 16 hours before initial use.
To charge the handset:
1. Ensure that the device is connected to power.
2. Place the handset in the charging cradle of the base unit so that the bottom of the
phone sits in the base cradle. When correctly inserted in the cradle, the phone begins
charging, indicated by the display of the charging levels of the battery icon in the
phone's screen. For checking battery level, see Section 24.2.2 on page 395.
