Signal Strength Indication
A cellular phone sends and receives radio signals. As with
all radio equipment, the quality of radio reception depends
on the strength of the radio signal in the area where you
are operating your phone.
The strength of the cellular signal is shown by
the vertical bar on the left-hand side of the display. The higher the bar, the stronger the signal
at your present location.

3. Battery Information
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Use
only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and
recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by
the manufacturer. See “Important Battery Information” on
page 10.
See your cellular service provider or dealer for the battery
options available for your phone.

Note: Switch off the
phone’s power before

Charging the Battery
Plug the charger into a wall outlet and connect the charger
to the bottom of your phone.
When charging starts, the battery
segments scroll and the phone
beeps once.
You can use the phone during charging, but charging will be reduced for
the duration of the call.
Note: In a call, charging will stop completely if you are
using the Standard Travel Charger (ACP-7U).
After the segments of the battery indicator stop
scrolling and all segments are displayed, the
battery is fully charged. Disconnect the charger
from the power outlet and phone.
If the battery is too hot or cold, the charging may
be interrupted until the battery reaches its normal
operating temperature.
Note: With a new, completely discharged battery, the
phone may take up to 45 minutes to show that charging
is in progress.

Discharging the Battery
A battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully
discharge it from time to time. To discharge the battery,
leave your phone switched on until the battery is drained
and the phone turns itself off. Then wait for 30 minutes
before connecting to a charging source. (See “Deep
Discharge” on page 9.)
Note: Do not discharge the battery by any other means.
8
Battery Low Warning
You get this message and a warning
tone when the battery charge is low
and only a few minutes of talk time
remain.
The repetition rate of the battery-low
warnings depends on the remaining battery capacity and
the battery condition. The warnings are more frequent
when you’re in a call.
Note: If you’ve selected the Vibra Only or Silent Ringing
Option, you won’t hear any warning tones. See “Ringing
Options (Menu 3 1)” on page 37.
When the battery charge is too low for the phone to work,
the phone displays
then shuts itself off.
Charge the battery as described earlier in this section.
Deep Discharge
If you regularly just ‘top up’ the charge in your battery
without ever allowing it to fully discharge first, its life will be
shortened. In order to get the maximum life from your
battery you should allow it to discharge completely about
once a month.
To discharge the battery completely:
Leave the phone switched on until

During this 30 minutes, the phone is in ‘Deep

to connect it to a charger.
Fully charge the battery after Deep Discharge.

The phone may remind you to discharge the battery, by
presenting a series of battery-advice messages. Press !
or OK to page through the information, or press CLR to
clear the messages.
Important Battery Information
• 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.
• 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.
• (NiMH batteries only) For good operation times,
discharge the battery from time to time by leaving
your phone switched on until it turns itself off (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.
10
• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your
battery to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up
first.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged
or worn out.
• 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 59º F and 77º F (15º C and
25º C). 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 14º F (-10º C). Li-Ion
batteries’ performance is particularly limited in
temperatures below 32º F (0º C).
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with any
local regulations.

• Press and hold the
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: Extend your antenna
fully when in calls. As with any other radio transmitting
device, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when
the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at
a higher power level than otherwise needed.
WARNING! Do not switch the phone on when cellular phone
use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

Wake-up Message
When you switch your phone on, the phone displays a
wake-up message consisting of the phone number currently selected for your phone, or the name of the dealer if
this has been programmed. (If programmed, the name
takes precedence over the phone number.)
To change the wake-up message:

Note: The wake-up message is specific to your currently
selected phone number.
Selecting a Network
Your phone operates on specific networks and sometimes
it must choose which system to use. This can happen, for
example, if you are roaming (i.e. you leave the area where
you have signed up for service).
If you want your phone to work only in certain types of
networks (for example, to take advantage of certain billing
agreements between systems), you can specify this using
“Carrier Selection (Menu 5 1 1)”. See page 45.
