Step 2: Install the Batteries and charge your new handset for 15-20 hours
Remove the battery compartment cover. Press down on the semi-circle indent and slide the cover off. Charge the battery for 15-20 hours before using. To charge the batteries, place the handset on the charger. While charging, the symbol scrolls. When the battery is fully charged and the phone is off the cradle, all the bars of the battery symbol will be filled. If the symbol does not appear, reposition the handset in the charger, ensuring that the charging points contact.

NOTE: Once your handset is fully charged, your phone is designed for the charge LED to turn off for approximately 4 seconds during the following instances: 1) just after reaching a full charge 2) 1 minute after reaching a full charge 3) every 5 minutes after reaching a full charge To alleviate the charge LED from blinking on the charger base, you can simply remove the handset from the charging cradle. You may also select to leave the handset in the cradle which will not damage the unit. Once fully charged, you may notice the charge LED light will turn off for 4 seconds every 5 minutes. This is normal operation and does not mean your unit is defective. [3]
