# Using the Battery Pack

Fully charge the battery before the first use of the phone.

immediately after purchasing the phone. Keep the battery charged when not in use in order to maximize talk time and standby time when using the phone remotely.

Installing the Battery

The Battery pack is keyed so it can only fit one way.

1. Align the groove in the battery pack with the rail on the back of the phone until the battery pack rests flush with the back of the phone.

2. Slide the battery pack forward until it clicks. This locks the battery in place.

Using the Desktop Charger

The BAM-300D desktop charger has two slots for recharging batteries. The rear smaller slot is for

individual battery packs and the larger front slot is for charging the battery pack while it is attached to the phone.

Warning: Only use the desktop charger provided with the phone. Using the wrong charger may cause

damage to your phone or battery.

1. Plug the charger into a wall outlet.

* The charger can be operated from

either a llOV or a 220V source.

* When AC power is connected to

the desktop charger, both the green and red LED’s blink once.

2. Insert the phone with the installed battery pack or a spare battery pack into the individual battery pack slot.

* Red light indicates battery is being

charged.

* Green light indicates battery is

fully charged.

jSr Caring for the Battery

• You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the

battery’s performance.

• Use only Bell Atlantic Mobile chargers. Bell Atlantic Mobile’s chargers are designed to maximize the battery life performance.

• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery pack.

• Do not charge the battery pack in temperatures outside of 32° F to 122°F(0°C to50°C).

• Keep the metal contacts of the battery pack clean.

• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery pack may be

recharged hundreds of times before it will need to be replaced.

• Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a

long time to maximize usability.

• Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use in places with high humidity, such as the

bathroom.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, which

may diminish the battery performance.

If completely discharged, the battery will charge in approximately 1 U hours for the standard battery and 2 4- hours for the extended battery. If you leave the phone on while it is in the desktop charger, the battery

will take longer to charge.
