returning the handsets to the telephone base or chargers after each use. When the
battery is fully depleted, a recharge takes about 12 hours. The average talk time on
a fully charged battery is about eight hours depending on environmental conditions,
and the standby time is approximately three days. Actual battery life will depend on
usage conditions and age of battery.

into the plug inside the handset
battery compartment, matching
the color-coded label.
