Problems charging
If your phone displays
Not charging
, charging is suspended.
Check that the battery is connected to an approved charging
device. If the battery is very hot or cold, wait for a while;
charging will automatically resume after the battery is
restored to its normal operating state. If charging still fails,
contact your dealer.
When is charging complete?
When the battery strength indicator stops scrolling,
your phone is considered fully charged. However, a
slight increase in charge may occur if you leave your
phone connected to the charger.
If you charge the battery while the phone is turned
off, the charge bars on the right side of the display will
eventually disappear once a full charge has occurred.
Note: If you are using a lithium ion battery, continue to charge
it for two hours after the indicator has stopped scrolling to
retain “trickle charge”.
When is a good time to charge?
You can charge anytime, but remember that when your phone
displays
Battery
low
, you only have a couple of minutes of
talk time left.
Can I make calls while charging?
Yes, but your battery may not charge during a call. Charging
should resume once you end the call.
Discharging NiMH batteries
For good operation times, discharge NiMH batteries 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 available for your phone). Do not attempt to
discharge the battery by any other means.
