base of the phone and plug it into a standard 120 volt AC
outlet. A red LED will appear to indicate charging is in
progress. The battery should be charged before using the
phone for the first time. Batteries last longer and perform
better when allowed to discharge fully at least once a week.
USING THE BATTER Y
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The phone is powered by a rechargeable
battery. To ensure maximum benefit from your new phone
and to get better talk and standby times, it is important that
you regularly charge and discharge the battery as instructed in this guide.
RECHARGING THE BATTER Y
Caution: Use only the Mitsubishi AC adapter that was
provided with your phone or the optional Mitsubishi Cigarette
Lighter Adapter, CIG-P4. Use of the wrong adapter may
cause damage.
The bars at the upper left of the display screen indicate the
battery charge level. The highest charge level is shown as a
series of three (3) bars. When the charge level falls to less
than 10%, the phone displays a warning message: LOW

or vehicle power adapters may cause damage to your
Mitsubishi cellular phone.

When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool,
dark, and dry place.

and - terminals on the battery.
Do not attempt to discharge the battery with any other
method or system other than described in this manual.
