Yes. Four hours for the first time using it. After the first time I charged it about two hours for an all day use.

Yes, the keyboard needs to be charged. However, it seems to have a good sleep mode, so I haven't had to recharge it often, even when I accidentally left it on.

yes, but very rarely. I go weeks without charging mine. charges extremely fast when it does need it, takes standard micro usb so I don't even carry extra charger just borrow phone cord for a bit

According to the manual the unit can be left plugged in when it is not in use. If not left continuously plugged in it should be charged after each use and once a month otherwise.

Yes the handset needs to be charged because it's a portable phone. How often you charge depends on use, like a cell phone if you use it a lot the battery will run out; but it has a great battery life

No, you have to charge on computer or a usb charger. Mine camera quit working about 6 months after I bought it, I do not recommend it.

Actually, I don't know if it was pre-charged since I just connected it and left it. My electricity will have to go out before I know if it was charged. Thank you for asking cause I need to check it out! Sorry I cannot answer your question.

When new it comes already charged. When charging you don't need to turn it on.

It's supposed to be charged when green is lit. Personally, I leave it on another hour.

I charged mine, but let's face it, you're gonna have to have a charger sometime, so you might as well buy one.

It needs to be charged. I bought a car charger for it and keep it plugged in all the time!

No and I have found that it should be charged monthly whether you have used it or not. I bought mine to have for power outages and did not keep it charged. The batteries drained and I have to find new batteries. Hope this helps you.

Yes, just be sure it is turned on. It will charge whether turned on or off.

No, we have locked ours so we don't get charged, but we recently got a score deal on data so unlocked it and use it often....

I'm not sure. I charged it when it arrived. It didn't take long, so I'm guessing it wasn't needing much!
