When is charging complete?
When the charge indicators stop scrolling, your
phone is considered fully charged. However, a
slight increase in charge may occur if your
phone is left connected to the charger for a
while. This is called “trickle charge.”
Charging times depend on the type of battery and
charger used.
For approximate charging and operating times, see “Standby
and Talk Times” on page 74.
Can you make calls while charging?
Yes, you can. But your battery may not charge while a
call is in progress. Charging should resume once you
end the call.
Discharging NiMH batteries
A NiMH battery lasts longer and performs better if you
fully discharge it from time to time. To discharge the bat-
tery, leave your phone switched on until the battery is
drained. The phone will display several messages that
the battery is low and that you need to recharge it; just
ignore them. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by
any other means.
Important Battery Information
• Note that a new battery’s full performance is achieved only
after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles!
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating
time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than
normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
• Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer
and recharge your battery only with the chargers
approved by the manufacturer. When a charger is not in
use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave
the battery connected to a charger for longer than a
week, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left
unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over
time.
