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 b e used with eit her a r echargeabl e Li-Io n 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.

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 service provider or retailer.
When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave th e battery connect ed to a charger for longer than a week, since ov ercharging may shorten its lif e.

, 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 page71.
Once all the power has drained from your battery, you’ll hear three beeps wi th the m essage 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.” If your phone is powered off the display will clear when charging is complete.
4
Charging times depend on the type of battery and charger used.
For approximate charging and operating times, see “Batteries” on page72.
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" on page 74 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.
Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.

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 switch ed 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.
• 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

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 , except during a call (unless you want to hang up).
CAUTION:
requesting 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.

Navigating tools

Softkeys
Your phone has two softkeys that appear below the display. Their current function is indicated by the words appearing above them. Simply press the corresponding key under the choice you wish to select.
This illustration shows the phone at the start screen. The start screen always displays on the right. menus and submenus. phone book.

Scroll key
Your phone has scroll keys located just below your display. It has two arrows on it that look like
V
and W. Press the scroll key up or down to navigate through your phone’s menus and submenus. You can also use it to scroll through names and numbers in your phone book.
Also, when editing names and numbers (e.g. numbers in your phone book), you may notice a cursor flashing within the name or number. Pressing the scroll key up or down moves the cursor within the text, allowing you to insert letters, numbers, or special characters via the keypad.
See “Entering text and numbers” on page35 for more details.
Scroll bar
When you access your phone’s men u and submenus, you will notice a scroll bar at the far right of the screen. This bar indicates where you are in the menu structure; each “tab” on the bar represents a different menu item.
For example, press
Menu
once. The scroll bar appears
with the first (top) tab displayed. A different tab appears
W
each time you press the
or V key to move up and down through the menu structure. The scroll bar works the same way with submenus.
