Before you begin
2. Before you begin
• Attach your battery
Prior to using your phone, the battery must
be installed and charged. Grasp the phone
near the display (rather than on the slide
mechanism). Place the battery in the grooves
on the back of your phone. Then slide the
battery upward until it clicks.
Note:
Use only those batteries approved by
the phone manufacturer. See “Using
batteries and chargers” on page 112.
• Charge your battery
1. With your phone on or off, connect the
lead from the charger to the bottom of the
phone.
2. Connect the charger to an AC wall outlet.
The battery indicator bar starts to scroll
after a few seconds.
3. Disconnect the charger from the phone
and AC outlet when the battery is fully
charged.
Note:
When the indicator bar stops scrolling, the battery will accept a
"trickle charge" for an additional 2 hours until it is 100% fully
charged (except BMS-2V). See “Charging Times” on page 96 for
more information.
Important battery information:
• Recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the
manufacturer.
• The phone can be used while charging if the phone is switched on.
