Battery Level Indication 
 

 

 

 

The Battery icon is always displayed when the 
handset is on. When charging, the battery icon will 
be scrolling to indicate that the batteries are being 
charged. When fully charged, four bars are 
displayed. The scrolling will stop.  

 

When an empty battery icon is displayed, place the 
handset on the base cradle to recharge the 
batteries. If low battery level happens during off-
hook, a series of short beeps will be heard from the 
speaker of the handset. 

 
 
Charging the Handset 
 
When the handset is placed on the base cradle to charge the handset 
batteries, a charging tone, if set to ON, will be emitted from the 
handset’s speaker.  (Refer to Alert Tone Section). During charging, 
the charge LED on the base unit will be steadily lit. The battery icon 
will be scrolling to indicate that the batteries are being charged. 
 
Get into the habit of putting the handset on the base unit to charge 
when it is not in use to ensure the handset is always fully charged. 
 

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN 
INCORRECT TYPE.  Never use non-rechargeable batteries; use 
recommended type supplied with this telephone.  Ni-MH 
batteries must be disposed of in accordance with applicable 
waste disposal regulations.
