• Charge the battery
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements approved by
FC
Nokia for use with this particular model. The use of any other types may
invalidate any approval or warranty and may be dangerous. Check the
model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is
intended for use when supplied with power from ACP-12, ACP-7, AC-1,
and LCH-12.
1 Connect the charger to a wall socket.
2 Connect the plug from the charger to
the jack on the bottom of your phone.
On the main display, the battery
indicator scrolls during charging. If
the power is on, Charging appears
briefly when the charger is first
attached. If the battery is completely
discharged, it may take a few minutes
before the charging indicator appears
on the display or before any calls can
be made.
You can use the phone while the charger is connected.
The charging time depends on the charger and the battery used. For example,
charging a fully discharged BL-4C battery with a ACP-7 charger takes
approximately 3 hours, and with a ACP-12 charger, approximately 1 hour and
30 minutes while the phone is in the standby mode.
