Charging A New Battery
Before you can use your phone, you must fully
charge the battery. A new battery must be
charged for at least 16 hours before being used
for the first time. Attach the battery to the
phone and connect the charger to the bottom of
the phone as described on page 2.
Battery Information
When the battery charge is low, the warning
message BATTERY LOW flashes you at regular
intervals.
Finally, the message RECHARGE BATTERY is
displayed. If you do not recharge your battery,
the phone switches off after a while. While
charging is in progress, the battery charge bar
on the display scrolls repeatedly from clear to
full. When the bar stops scrolling and remains at
a full bar, and a message BATTERY FULL appears
on the display, charging is completed. If the
display bar continues to scroll, charging may be
temporarily disrupted (for instance, if the
battery is too hot or too cold).
Use only batteries approved by the phone
manufacturer, and recharge 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
longer than a week, since overcharging may
shorten its life. If left unused, a fully charged
battery will discharge itself over time.
Note that a new NiMH battery achieves full
performance only after two or three complete
charge and discharge cycles!
For good operation times when using a NiMH
battery, discharge the battery from time to time
by leaving your phone switched on until it turns
itself off (or by using the battery discharge
facility of any approved accessory for your
phone). Do not attempt to discharge the battery
by any other means.
The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear
out. When the operating time (talk-time and
standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal,
it is time to buy a new battery.
NiMH battery performance will vary with the
condition of the battery. The following
conditions will reduce battery performance:
temperature extremes, poor charging or
discharging practices and improper storage.
The NiMH battery’s performance is particularly
limited in temperatures below -10°C and Li-Ion
batteries performance is particularly limited in
temperatures below 0°C. Therefore, the battery
should be kept protected from the cold, e.g., in a
pocket, if it is to be exposed to low temperatures
for long periods.
The approximate charging times, for charging
empty batteries to an 80% capacity, while using
the Fast Travel Charger are:
NiMH batteries:
550 mAh 60 min.
Li-Ion batteries:
400 mAh 50 min.
1500 mAh 180 min.
A trickle charge to full 100% capacity would
require a couple of hours more, but it is not
necessary in normal use.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of
your battery to charge: it may require cooling or
warming first.
Note:
- Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
- Never use any charger or battery which is
damaged or worn out.
- Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic
object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct
connection between the + and - terminals of
