Parent unit battery charging
Once you have installed the parent unit battery and connect
the power adapter to AC power, the screen is still off. Press
(on/off) for 2 seconds to turn on the parent unit. The icon
indicates the battery status (see the table below). The parent
unit batte
ry is fully charged after 11 hours of continuous
charging. See the table on page 20 for battery operating times.
When the parent unit is operating in battery mode and the
battery is low, you need to charge the parent unit without
interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the parent unit
enough charge to use for a short time. When operating with a
low battery, the
