Preparing Your Phone for Use 7
Attaching the Battery to your Phone
When to Charge the Battery
The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your phone can be
charged whenever you wish, without affecting its performance. This
is not the case with the cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries, often
sold as accessories by other suppliers. For the best talk and standby
time in the long run, we recommend that you use only Ericsson origi-
nal batteries with your phone.
To remind you that you will soon need to charge the battery or
replace it with a charged one:
• an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the message
Battery low
appears for ten seconds in the display – the signal is repeated sev-
eral times,
• the indicator light on top of the phone starts flashing red.
Note! The phone turns itself off when the battery can no longer power
it satisfactorily.
• Place the battery on the back of the phone and push until you hear
a click.
