Charge Indication (Sign of Life):
Customer Complaint(s):
• There is a time delay after insertion of the Charger Plug before the handset will respond with an
indication that the battery is charging (Battery Icon Flashing and/or Battery Indication Tone). This
delay can be up to as much as 10 Seconds and is highlighted by the current charge state of the
battery.
• Charger Plug may not fully engage if inserted off-center. Due to the CE Accessory Connector being
recessed in relationship with the housing, Charger can appear to be connected with only one
connector hook engaged.

Customer Education:
There will be a section added to the user’s manual for these models. The section will be described as
“Additional User Information”. The section will encompass the information listed above to increase the
