Your phone is powered by a rechargeable
battery. A new battery must be charged for
at least 4 hours before it is used for the first

several usage cycles.
When your battery has run down, the
phone displays it and cuts out.
To recharge your battery:

phone.
- The phone will start charging. The battery charging indicator
indicates the charge.
- Charging stops by itself.

dangerous or invalidate the warranty.
Used batteries must be disposed of in the appropriate places.
We advise you to take the battery out if you plan not to use the
phone for extended periods.
You are strongly advised not to connect your phone to the
charger if it doesn’t contain a battery.
The charger is a safety step-down transformer, it is forbidden
to modify, alter or replace it by another component (power
