municator until the left locking pin engages.
(If you try to force the adapter into place up-
side down, you may accidentally break off the
curved guiding pin.)
3 Connect the charger lead to the adapter, as
shown in figure 2-8.
4 Connect the charger to an AC wall outlet. If
the phone interface is switched on, the
CHARGING message appears on the display
and segments of the battery indicator bar on
the right side of the phone interface display
will start scrolling. (Charging information is
also shown on the communicator interface
display, see ”Indicators” on page 2-9.)
5 When the battery is fully charged (the bars stop
scrolling and five bars are displayed), you may
remove the adapter from the communicator:
Hold down the release button on the left side
of the adapter (see figure 2-7), and turn the
adapter away from the communicator.
When the charge is low and only a few minutes
of operation time remain, a warning tone will be
heard, and the message BATTERY LOW will be re-
peated at regular intervals on the display. When
the charge level becomes too low for operation,
the RECHARGE BATTERY message will be dis-
played, accompanied by a warning tone. If you do
not connect the communicator to a charger, the
communicator automatically switches itself off.
Note: If the tones have been switched off (see
chapter 4 "Telephone: Telephone settings
- Ringing settings" on page 4-6), only the
display messages will appear.
Using the battery
Use only batteries approved by the communicator
manufacturer. With approved chargers and acces-
sories, the battery can be charged continuously.
The battery need not be fully discharged before
recharging. When a charger is not in use, discon-
nect it from the power source.
The battery can be charged and discharged hun-
dreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
When the operation time (talk-time and standby
time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time
to buy a new battery.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of
your battery to charge: it may require cooling or
warming first.
Battery operation time is affected by the follow-
ing: whether both interfaces are on, radio signal
strength, various phone settings, and the length
of the communicator interface’s screen blanker
period (set in System application’s settings, see
chapter 10 "System: System settings" on page
10-1).
It is recommended always to keep a charged bat-
tery in the communicator. Keeping the battery
charged maximises the lifetime of the backup bat-
tery supplying power to the communicator’s real-
time clock. In case the backup battery is drained,
it may be replaced by qualified personnel.
Always close the device cover before removing
the battery. Closing the cover will save all data.
