www.vtechphones.com5Charge handset batteryAfter battery installation, there may be enough power for short calls. For optimal performance, we recommend that you place the handset in the handset charger and allow the battery to charge for 16 hours before use. The CHARGE light on the handset charger will be lit to indicate that the handset is charging. You can keep the battery charged by returning the handset to the handset charger after each use. When the battery power is completely depleted, a full recharge takes about 16 hours. If the handset will not be used for a long period, remove the battery to prevent possible leakage.After the battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:Operation Operating timeWhile in use (handset/headset) 7 hoursWhile in use (speakerphone) 2 hoursWhile in use (IM mode) 2 hoursWhile not in use (standby*) 96 hours*Handset is off the charger but not in use.
