Problems charging
If your phone displays
Not charging
, charging is suspended.
Check that the battery is connected to an approved
charging device. If the battery is very hot or cold, wait for a
while; charging will automatically resume after the battery
is restored to its normal operating state. If charging still
fails, contact your dealer.
When is charging complete?
When the battery strength indicator stops
scrolling, your phone is considered fully charged.
However, a slight increase in charge may occur if
you leave your phone connected to the charger.
If you charge the battery while the phone is turned
off, the charge bars on the right side of the display will
eventually disappear once a full charge has occurred.
Note: If you are using a lithium ion battery, continue to
charge it for two hours after the indicator has stopped
scrolling to retain “trickle charge”.
When is a good time to charge?
You can charge anytime, but remember that when your
phone displays
Battery
low
, you only have a couple of
minutes of talk time left.
Can I make calls while charging?
Yes, but your battery may not charge during a call. Charging
should resume once you end the call.
Discharging NiMH batteries
For good operation times, discharge NiMH batteries from
time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it
turns itself off (or by using the battery discharge facility of
any approved accessory available for your phone). Do not
attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
