Protection Cap of the Antenna
Connector
At the back of the phone below the antenna there is a connector for
an external antenna. The connector may be protected by a rubber
cap. If it is, first remove the cap when connecting the external an-
tenna. After removing the antenna, replace the cap.
Note: Keep the cap out of the reach of small children.
Battery Information
The following manufacturer-approved rechargeable batteries are
available for your phone: NiMH batteries BMS-2V, BMS-2S and
BMS-2, and Li-Ion batteries BLS-2 and BLS-4.
Charging and Discharging the Battery
• Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
• 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 stand-by time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is
time to buy a new battery.
• Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and re-
charge 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 long-
er than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left un-
used a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
• For good operation times, discharge the NiMH battery from time
to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off
