Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see 

the table below). 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 10 hours of 

continuous charging. See the table on page 50 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank, 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. When the battery is low, the handset plays four short beeps and 

shows 

LOW BATTERY along with a flashing   icon. When you are on a call in 

low battery mode, the handset plays four short beeps every 50 seconds.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
