Battery Information

Charging and Discharging

Note that a new battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles!

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

When the charge drops to approximately 5% of the maximum battery capacity, the message BATTERY LOW will warn you at regular intervals. When there is no battery capacity left, the message RECHARGE BATTERY is displayed and the phone will automatically be switched off to discharging mode when a charger is not connected. During discharging, the message DISCHARGING is blinking, and the phone cannot be used. When the battery is discharged, connect the phone to a charger and CHARGING will be displayed for two seconds when charging process is started. Discharging can be interrupted by connecting the phone to the charger.

While charging is in progress and the powerisswitchedoff,thebatterycharge indicator bar scrolls from clear to a full bar on the phone display. When the indicator disappears and the display is empty, charging is completed. When the power is on during charging, the battery indicator bar scrolls, and the phone can be used.

Note: If the battery is totally empty, the text POWERING UP and the indicator appear on

the display. Charging is in progress but no actions can be done until the battery charge is high enough.

Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.

For good operation times, discharge the battery from time to time as described (or by using the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory available for your phone). Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.

Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.

Note:

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.

Always switch the power off before removing the battery.

Note:

However, the battery can be removed when the phone is discharging (DIS- CHARGING is flashing on the display).

English

Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery) for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.

Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59F and 77F). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. NiMH batteries performance is particularly limited in temperatures below -10°C (14F).

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle!

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
