General information
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of operation time remain, a
warning tone will sound, and the message BATTERY IS LOW will be repeated at
regular intervals on the phone display. When the charge level becomes too low for
operation, the RECHARGE BATTERY message will be displayed, accompanied by a
warning tone. If you do not connect the communicator to a charger, the
communicator switches itself off.
Note: When you connect a communicator with a fully discharged battery to a
charger, it will take 30-60 seconds before the CHARGING message
appears on the display and the battery indicator bar starts scrolling. After
that, it may take 10-30 seconds before you can switch the phone on.
Battery information
Tip: Read this section for
information on how to
prolong the life of your
battery.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and -
terminals of the battery (metal strips on bottom of the battery) for example when
you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short- circuiting the terminals
may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try
to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A communicator with
a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully
charged. Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below
freezing.
