Charge the handset battery

The handset controls the battery charging, so you can always place the handset in the charger or Speaker Phone after use, even if the battery does not need recharging. Leaving the handset in the charger or Speaker Phone does not reduce the lifetime of the battery.

If the handset requires charging, this occurs automatically when the handset is placed in the charger or in the Speaker Phone. For safety reasons, the battery is not charged prior to shipping. We recommend that you charge the handset for at least one hour before proceeding further with first-time registration of the handset.

About charging …

The charger or Speaker Phone must be connected to the power outlet.

It takes approximately four hours to fully charge the battery.

The maximum talk-time is up to 12 hours.

The maximum standby-time is up to 100 hours.
