Charging the batteries

Your phone comes with a rechargeable internal lithium ion (LiIon) battery, which you do not need to remove to charge.

This LiIon battery is partially charged when you receive the phone. Fully charge the battery as soon as you can to maximize talk time. If the charge falls too low, the phone turns off without saving any functions in progress.

Your phone may come with either an AC Adaptor or a Global Travel Charger (like the example shown here).

Plug the charger into the phone and into a wall outlet to charge the battery. The quickest way to charge the battery is to turn the phone off while it is connected to the charger.

While the battery is charging, the icon continues to scroll. Do not use your phone while it is charging.

If you have attached an external battery to the phone, the AC Adaptor or Global Travel Charger recharges the internal battery first (to a level of 90%), then recharges the external battery (to 90%). The charger then tops off the internal battery and external battery to 100%. However, it is not necessary to wait until all batteries reach 100% before using your phone.

Note—While you are using an AC Adaptor, the phone will not make analog calls.

User’s Guide for QCP 860, QCP 1960, and QCP 2760 Thin Phones

9

Adding an external battery

You can purchase an external battery that snaps onto the back of the phone to extend the talk and standby times. (See “Accessories” on page 11.)

To attach an external battery

1.Insert the two teeth on the battery into the corresponding holes on the back of the phone.

2.Move the top of the battery towards the phone until it latches into place.

To remove an external battery

1.Push the button on the top of the battery cartridge to disengage the battery.

2.Pull the battery away from the phone.

Caution—It is illegal in some areas to dispose of LiIon batteries in household or business trash. Contact your nearest Kyocera Wireless Corp. Service Center for safe disposal options. Do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

Battery power levels

The phone uses all the power in the external battery before it uses the internal battery.

The battery icon tracks only one battery at a time. It reflects the charge level of an attached external battery as long as that battery has a charge. Otherwise, it tracks the internal battery level.

The more black bars there are in the icon, the greater the charge.

When your battery is very low, the screen icon blinks, the phone beeps, and a message alerts you to the low battery level. Press or under [OK] to acknowledge the message.

Tip—To reduce drain on your battery, set the backlight to “always off.” (See “Display” on page 33.) (See page 35 for more tips on using the battery.)

Hot swapping

If the external battery runs out of power during a call, the internal battery takes over automatically so you do not lose the call. This process is called hot swapping. A low battery message appears. Press or under [OK]. The battery icon then displays the status of the internal battery.

If the internal battery power falls low during a call, snap on an external battery. The phone uses the external battery without dropping the call. The battery icon displays the charge level of the external battery.

Note—The external battery does not charge the internal battery.
