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 11 hours of continuous 

charging. See the table on page 66 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank or displays 

Put in charger, you need to charge the handset  

without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use 

for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset displays

with a flashing   icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset plays short 

beeps to alert you.
