When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power
source. Do not leave the battery connected to a ch arger for
longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.

Important: If left unused, a fully charged battery will dis­charge itself over time.

When is a good time to charge?

Actually, you can charge anytime. If you have a NiMH bat­tery, you should allow it to completely discharge once in a
while.

When your phone beep s once a nd disp lays Batte ry low , you
only have a couple of minutes of talk time remaining. The
repetition rate of these battery-low warnings depend on the
remaining battery capacity and the battery condition. These

warnings are more frequent when yo u’re in a call.

Note: The ph one wi l l not gi ve you the warn in g t one unde r cert ai n con-

ditions. See “Warning and game tones” on page77.

Once all the power has drained from your battery, you’ll hear
three be eps with t he mes sage Recharge battery on your dis­play. At this point, your phone will switch itself off and you’ll
need to recharge your battery.

When is charging complete?

When the charge indicators stop scrolling, your
phone is considered fully charged. However, a slight
increase in charge may occur if your phone is left
connected to the charger for a couple more hours.
This is called “trickle charge” or “maintenance
charge.”

Charging times depend on the type of battery and charger
used.

For approximate charging and operating times, see “Batteries” on
page83.

Can you make calls while charging?

Yes, you can. But your batt ery may not char ge while a cal l is
in progress (depending on which charger you are using).
Charging should resume once you end the call.

See "Chargers

Discharging NiMH batteries

A NiMH battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully
discharge it from time to time . To discharge t h e ba ttery,
leave your phone sw itched on until t h e ba ttery is drained.
The phone will display several messages that the battery is
low and that you need to recharge it; just ignore them.

You can also use the battery discha rge feature of any ap­proved accessory available for your phone. Do not attempt to
discharge the battery by any means other than those just
described.

Removing th e ba ttery

Note: Switch off the phone before removing the battery!

1. Press and hold the

button at the top of
the battery.

2. Slide the battery

toward the bottom of
the phone.

3. Lift the batt ery off

the phone.

Important B a tte r y I nformation

• 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 sh orte n it s life. If le ft u n use d a ful ly ch a rged battery
will d ischa rge its elf over tim e .

• (NiMH batteries only) For optimal operation, discharge the
battery fr om time to time by le avin g your phone swi tche d on
until it turns itself off. You can also use the battery dis­charge feature of any approved accessory avai lable for your
phone. Do not att em pt t o di scharge the batt ery by any ot her
means.

• 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 pla ce s, s uch as in a closed
car in summer or winter conditi ons, wi ll reduce th e capaci ty
and lifetime of the battery. Always tr y to keep th e battery
between 59º F and 77º F (15º C and 25º C). A phone with a
hot or c old b atte ry ma y t empor ar i ly not wor k, even whe n th e
battery is fully charged. NiMH batteries’ performance is par­ticu larly limited in temperatur es 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.

Cool Features

All the featur es in your phone are cool. I t’s just that some are
cooler than others!

For example, did you know that you can lock the keys on
your phone to prevent accidental key presses and phone
calls? Or that you can call someone with t he touch of a sin-

gle button? You can also stop your phone from ringing
without even answering the call.

These are just some of the many Cool Features you’ll find in
your phone. Look for the icon throughout this owner’s
manual to find them.

3. Using Your Phone

The first few days you have your phone, play with it to learn
how the menu and submenu system works. The more you
learn how to access these menus and submenus, the more

fun you’ll have with your phone.
This section describes the different methods of using your

phone menus and submenus.

What is the ‘start screen’?

The start scree n app ears wh en you firs t turn y our pho ne on,
in its idle state.

Anytime you want to get to the st art s cree n, press , ex­cept during a call (unless you want to hang up).

CAUTION: If you press when the phone is reques ting
input (for example, a setting, phone number, name, etc.), the
phone displays the start screen, the input is not saved, and
the option is not selected.

You have purchased a powerful phone, with lots of features.

Switching off with the key

Quickly press the key (Switch off! will appear, high-

TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: As with any other radio transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily 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 on the phone when wireless phone use is
prohibited or when it may cau se interference or danger.

See “Safety At A Glance” on page 2 for more information.

Getting a strong signal

Your phone operates on radio waves, and the quality of radio
reception depends on the strength of the radi o signal in your
area. This radio coverage is maintained by a wireless netwo rk
and the quality of calls on a wireless phone depends on the
strength of the wireless radio signal.

If your phone does not detect service at power up, the mes­sage Searching for service will be displayed. The phone will
continue to search for available service for 15 minutes, at
which time it will display No service if none is found.

Note: T he pho ne wi l l not wo rk in an alo g mo de wh il e s ear chin g f o r di g­ital service.

strength of the signal increases and down as it
decreases.

Increasing your phone’s signal may be easy. Try moving your
phone slightly, or move towards a window if you’re calling
from inside a building.
