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.

1. Plug the small end of the smaller power adapter into the jack on the underside of charger, then route the cord through the slot as shown.

2. Plug the large end of the smaller power adapter into an electrical outlet.

6. The battery may have enough charge to allow you to make a short call. For best performance, place handset in the telephone base or charger to charge for at lease 16 hours before first use.

3. Plug the battery securely into the plug inside the handset battery compartment, matching the color-corded label.
