Battery charging
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 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 51 for battery
operating times.
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for
at least 10 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone
for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset shows Low battery
CPFCƀCUJKPI icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset
has four short beeps to alert you.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions
to take.

Getting started
Installation options
Your telephone base is ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your
telephone on a wall, use the provided wall-mount bracket to connect with
a standard dual-stud telephone wall-mounting plate. If you do not have
this mounting plate, you can purchase one from many hardware or
consumer electronics retailers. You may need a professional to install the
mounting plate.
Tabletop to wall-mount installation
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the
bottom of the telephone base. Plug the small end of the larger power
adapter into the POWER jack on the bottom of the telephone base.
Position the telephone base as shown below. Insert the extended tabs of
the wall-mount bracket into the slots on the back of the telephone base.
Push the telephone base down until it clicks securely in place.
Route the telephone line cord through the wall-mount bracket hole and plug
it into the telephone wall jack. Route the power cord out of the bottom of the
telephone and plug it into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Align the holes on the bracket with the standard wall plate and slide the
bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the telephone line cord and
power adapter cord neatly with a twist tie.
