Getting Started
In some vehicles the ignition must be on in order to charge
the phone with the cigarette lighter adapter.
Whilst charging, the bar indicating the charge level will scroll.
The battery is fully charged when the scrolling stops, the bar
appears entirely and the BATTERY FULL message is briefly
displayed. Note that the message is not shown if the phone
has been connected to the charger with the power switched off.
If the NOT CHARGING message is displayed, the charging is
suspended. Check that the battery has not overheated (over
40”C). Wait for a while, disconnect the charger, connect it
again and retry. If charging still fails, contact your dealer.
In all cases, the phone maybe used during charging. How-
ever, the charging process will be suspended for the duration
of the call.
Charging Time
Typical charging time with all chargers for an empty 550 mAh
battery (BBH-I S) is about one hour. For charging times of
other batteries, refer to the phone’s Accessory documentation.
Operation times
The operation time and the life time of a battery are greatly af-
fected by how you handle it. Take good care of the battery.
Less power is consumed when the phone is used near to the
cellular network’s base station.
Keeping the antenna fully extended whenever possible will
maintain the connection to the network with less power.
The operation times are greatly affected by the signal
strength of the cellular network and the parameters set by
the network operator.
