the handset is off when placed in the charger, it will turn on briefly to display the charging
message.
The room temperature should be between 0°C and 25°C (32°F and 77°F). Do not place the
charger in direct sunlight. The battery has a built-in heat sensor, which will stop the charging if
the battery temperature is too high.

While idle, the low battery audible signal is sent to the speaker and, during a call, the signal is
sent to the earpiece/headset. The audible signal is sent at intervals of approximately 30
seconds. The handset should be placed in the charger immediately if you receive the Low
