Charging your new battery
Your phone can be used with either a rechargeable
Li-Ion or NiMH battery. Note that a new battery’s full
performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles.
With your phone on or off, connect the charger to a
standard 120V AC outlet. Then connect the lead from
the charger to the bottom of your phone or place it on
a charging stand.
When the battery begins charging, your phone will beep
once and the battery strength indicator on the right side
of the display will scroll.
Note: If the battery is totally empty, it may take a few minutes
before the charging indication appears on the display.
If your phone displays
Not charging
, charging is
suspended. Check that the battery is not connected to
a non-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 a good time to charge?
You can charge your battery anytime. If you have a
NiMH battery, you should allow it to completely
discharge once in a while.
When your phone beeps once and displays
Battery low
,
you only have a couple of minutes of talk time remaining.
The repetition rate of these battery-low warnings depend
on the remaining battery capacity and the battery con-
dition. These warnings are more frequent when you’re
in a call.
Note: The phone will not give you the warning tone under
certain conditions. See “Warning and game tones” on page 72.
Once all the power has drained from your battery, you’ll
hear three beeps with the message
Recharge battery
on
your display. At this point, your phone will switch itself
off and you’ll need to recharge your battery.
