• Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate and without use, lose about 1% of their charge per day.

• The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is stored for long periods while fully charged. If long term storage is required, store at half capacity.

Antenna

The retractable antenna on your i855 phone is designed to be extended during calls.

To extend the antenna, pull gently on the rounded tip until the antenna is fully extended and clicks into position.

When finished with a call, retract the antenna by pushing gently on the rounded tip until the antenna clicks into place.

To optimize your phone’s performance, extend the antenna when you make or receive a call, and avoid touching the antenna with any body part.

Important: Failure to fully ex tend or retract the

antenna until the antenna clicks into place causes severely degraded performance, which may result in missed calls, dropped calls, or garbled audio.
