Battery Information
The following manufacturer-approved rechargeable batteries are
available for your phone: NiMH battery BMP-1, and Li-Ion battery
BLH-1.
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.
Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to
charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.
• When the battery is running out of power and only few minutes
of talk time remain, a warning tone is heard and Battery low
is briefly displayed. When no more talk time is left, Battery
empty is displayed and a warning tone is sounded and the
phone switches itself off.
