2. Getting Connected
This section will help you understand the ins and outs of
charging and using your battery.
Attaching your battery
Simply place the battery
in the grooves on the
back of your phone. Then
slide the battery upward
until it clicks.
Note: Use only those
batteries approved by
the phone manufacturer
and recharge your
battery only with the
chargers approved by the manufacturer.
See “Important Battery Information” on page 6.
Charging your new battery
Your phone can be used with either a rechargeable Li-Ion
or NiMH battery. Note that a new battery’s full performance
is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles.
With your phone powered
on or off, connect the lead
from the charger to the
bottom of your phone.
You can also place your
phone on the charging
stand (with the stand
connected to a standard
120V AC outlet via either the ACP-7U or ACP-9U AC/DC
adaptors).
When the battery begins charging, your phone will beep
once and the battery strength indicator on the right side
of the display will begin to scroll after a few seconds.
3
If your phone displays
Check that the battery is connected only 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 temperature.
If charging still fails, contact your dealer.
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.

, charging is suspended.
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 beeps once and displays
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 you’re
in a call.
Note: The phone will not give you the warning tone under
certain conditions. See “Warning and game tones”
on page 80.
Once all the power has drained from your battery, you’ll
hear three beeps with the message
your display. At this point, your phone will switch itself
off and you’ll need to recharge your battery.
Battery low

on
,
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.”
4
Charging times depend on the type of battery and
charger used.
For approximate charging and operating times, see
“Batteries” on page 97.
Can you make calls while charging?
Yes, you can. But your battery may not charge while a call
is in progress (depending on which charger you are
using). Charging should resume once you end the call.
See "Chargers and other accessories" o n page 99 for more
information.
Discharging NiMH batteries
A NiMH 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. 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 discharge 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 the battery
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 battery off
the phone.

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.
• (NiMH batteries only) For optimal operation, discharge
the battery from time to time by leaving your phone
switched on until it turns itself off. You can also use
the battery discharge feature 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: 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.
6
• 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.
Cool Features
All the features in your phone are cool. It’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 the touch of a
single 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 screen appears when you first turn your phone
on, in its idle state.
Anytime you want to get to the start screen, press ,

4. The Basics
You have purchased a powerful phone, with lots of features.
Read this section for some very basic information on how
to use your phone.
A more comprehensive description of your phone is
covered in “Your Phone A to Z” starting on page 18.
Switching the phone on and off
Press and hold the key for two seconds to switch the
phone on or off.
Switching off with the key
Quickly press the key (
highlighted) then press OK.
Warning: Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone
use is prohibited or when it may cause interferenc e
or danger.
Note: See “Safety At A Glance” on page 1 for more
information.
Getting a strong signal
For best results, fully extend the antenna. Your phone
operates on radio waves, and the quality of radio reception
depends on the strength of the radio signal in your area.
This radio coverage is maintained by a wireless network
and the quality of calls on a wireless phone depends on
the strength of the wireless radio signal.
Note: TIP 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.
If your phone does not detect service at power up, the

will appear,

15 minutes, at which time it will display
none is found. The phone will periodically continue to
search for service.
Note: The phone will not work in analog mode while
searching for digital service.
No service
Checking signal strength
When at the start screen (see page 10) or in a
call, the strength of the radio signal is indicated
by the signal indicators on the left side of your
phone’s display. These indicators will move up
as the 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.
Making a call
Your cellular phone does not have a dial tone. Simply
enter the phone number (including area code, as needed)
and press . Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Editing a number on display
If you make a mistake while entering a number to dial,
press to move the cursor to the left and to move it
to the right. To delete the character to the left of the
cursor, press
