Note: The analog module is a separate accessory that may be
purchased from your service provider. It allows you to make
and receive calls in analog networks. See ‘Optional analog
module’ on page 70.
Inserting the SIM card
The SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by
scratches or bending, so be careful when you handle, insert,
or remove the card.
Note: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of small children’s
reach.
Ensure that the phone is off and the battery is not

bevelled corner is at top right
and the card’s gold contacts
face into the phone.

Battery charging
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable NiMH or Li-Ion
battery. Note that a new NiMH battery’s full performance is
achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles.
How to charge your battery
Connect the lead from the charger to the bottom of your
phone or to a charging stand. Then plug the charger into a
standard 120V AC outlet.
When the battery is charging, the battery strength indicator
(on the right side of the display) scrolls.
Note: When you charge the battery for the first time, the
battery strength indicator does not scroll the entire time; this
is normal.
Problems charging
If your phone displays
Check that the battery is connected to an approved charging
device. If the battery is very hot or cold, wait for a while;
charging will automatically resume after the battery is
restored to its normal operating state. If charging still fails,
contact your dealer.
Not charging
, charging is suspended.
5
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 you leave
your phone connected to the charger.
When is a good time to charge?
You can charge anytime, but remember that when your
phone displays
Battery low
, you only have a couple of
minutes of talk time left.
Can I make calls while charging?
Yes, but your battery may not charge during a call. Charging
should resume once you end the call.
Discharging NiMH batteries
For good operation times, discharge NiMH batteries 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.
Important battery information
• 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.
• 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.
6
• 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.
