Battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status 
(see the table below). If necessary, place the handset inthe telephone 
base to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in teh 
telephone base when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 16 hours of 
continuous charging. See the table on 
page 77
 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for 
at least 10 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone 
for a short time. The handset beeps and shows Low battery. If you are on a 
call in low battery mode, the handset beeps every minutes.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to
