Talk and Standby Times
Battery operation times depend greatly on how you use the
batteries, as well as on the coverage of the network and
network parameters set by the cellular service provider.
Discharging the Battery
A battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully
discharge it from time to time. To discharge the battery,
leave your phone switched on until the battery is drained
and the phone turns itself off. Then wait for 30 minutes
before connecting to a charging source. (See “Deep
Discharge” on page 9.)
Note: Do not discharge the battery by any other means.
