Battery installation & charging
After battery installation, the battery may have enough charge to allow
for some calls. For best performance, place the handset in the charger
or telephone base and allow it to charge for 16 hours before use. You
can keep the battery charged by returning the handset to the charger or
the telephone base after each use. When the battery is fully depleted, a
recharge takes about 12 hours. The average talk time on a fully charged
battery is about eight hours depending on environmental conditions, and
the standby time when idle is approximately five days.
