Battery installation and charging
Install the battery as shown below. Once you have installed the battery, the
screen indicates the battery status (see the table below). If necessary, place
the handset in its charger to charge the battery. For best performance, keep
the handset in the charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged
after 10 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 107 for battery
operating times.
If the screen shows Place in charger and flashes, 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. The following table
summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
