Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to synchronize. • Charge the battery in the handset for up to 16 hours. • If the battery is completely depleted, it can take up to 10 minutes to charge the handset before LOW BATTERY appears on the screen (page 4). • Completely remove and install the battery again.
