Display Indicators
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 lefthand side of the display. The higher the
bar, the stronger the signal at your
present location, and the more likely you
are to get good call quality.
When
NO SERVICE
is displayed, the
phone is either outside of the cellular
service area or restricted from entering service,
and calls cannot be made or received.
If the signal is poor and you are using the phone
in a building, you may get better reception near a
window.
IMPORTANT! The phone can make and receive calls
only when:
• It is switched on, and
• It is located in the cellular service area, and
the radio signal strength is adequate.

Desktop Charging Stand (optional accessory).
Note: See the “Accessories” section starting on page 68
for more charging options.
Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.

When charging starts, the
segments of the battery
indicator scroll and the
phone beeps once.
After the segments of the
battery indicator stop scrolling and all segments are displayed, the
battery is fully charged.
Charging times (specified below) depend on
the charger used.
Disconnect the charger from the power outlet

and phone.
You can use the phone during charging, but
charging is reduced for the duration of the call.
Note: In a call, charging stops completely if you are
using the Standard Travel Charger (ACP-7U).
If the battery is too hot or cold, the charging may
be interrupted until the battery reaches its normal operating temperature.

Important Battery information
• Use only batteries and chargers approved by
the phone 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 may lose
some if its charge over time.
• Never use any charger or battery that is
damaged or worn out.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental
short circuiting can occur when a metallic
object (e.g. coin, clip or pen) causes direct
Battery Information

connection of the + and - terminals of the
battery (metal strips on the side 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, reduces the capacity and lifetime of
the battery. Always try to keep the battery
between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C).
A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even if the battery is fully
charged, or it may temporarily not charge.
Li-Ion battery performance is particularly
limited in temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
• Temperature extremes affect the ability of
your battery to charge; allow it to cool down
or warm up first.
• When the battery is not in use, store it
uncharged in a cool, dark and dry place.
• The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open the case.
• The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times but will eventually wear
out. When the operating time is shorter than
normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
• Do not dispose of a battery in a fire!
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with
any local laws and regulations.

TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: Extend your antenna

The Phone Book can store up to 75 phone numbers

store one additional temporary number and name.
The maximum number of Phone Book entries
depends on how much information you store in
each entry. The more information you store per
entry, the fewer entries you can have. The phone
holds 75 entries if the average entry size is about
10 digits and 12 characters.
This section includes details for using the Phone
Book. You can also use Menu 1 to find, save, edit,
and erase stored Phone Book entries. See “Phone
