Slide indicator
A battery has a slideable indicator which you can use to tell
an empty battery from a charged battery. Slide the indicator
to the left if the battery is empty -- to the right if the battery
is charged.
If you are uncertain of the state of charge of a
battery, attach the battery to the phone. Press and
hold down the Power key. If the phone does not
come on, the battery is probably empty. On the
other hand, if the phone comes on, observe the
battery meter.
If 5 or 4 is shown, the battery is all right.
3 or 2 indicates that the battery can be used.
1 or 0 indicates that the battery needs recharging.
Recharging
Avoid recharging a battery before the low battery
alarm has been issued.
If you often recharge a battery before the low
battery alarm has been issued, the battery’s ability
to accept a charge will be impaired, with the result
that the phone can only be used for shorter and
shorter periods between recharges.
If you have problems with a battery, you can proceed as
follows:
Do not remove the battery from the phone. Allow the
phone to remain ON until it turns itself OFF, after the low
battery alarm has been issued several times.
After the phone has turned itself OFF, it still continues to
discharge the battery. In the meantime, the message
‘‘DISCHARGIN’’ flashes in the display and the indicator
light on the top of the phone shows a steady red light.
Do not remove the battery from the phone until the
message ‘‘DISCHARGIN’’ and the red light go out.
After recharging the battery, it can be used for a longer
period before the next recharge is required.
With Special Function No. 18 you can at any time
discharge a battery. Proceed as follows:
1. Attach the battery to be discharged and turn the
phone ON.
