at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for
a short time. When the battery is low, the handset plays four short beeps and
shows LOW BATTERY along with a flashing icon. When you are on a call in
low battery mode, the handset plays four short beeps every 50 seconds.
