Using your phone
Improving antenna performance
The antenna is integrated in your phone, under the back cover at the
top.
Avoid putting your fingers on this area when the phone is switched
ON.
If your fingers obstruct the antenna, the phone may have to operate
with a higher power level than usual; decreasing its efficiency
quickly. It could also affect the quality of your communications.
Increase the battery life of your phone
- Don't press the keys when not necessary: each keypress
activates the backlight, and uses much power.
- Don't obstruct the antenna with your fingers.
Charging the battery
16 Using your phone
Your phone is powered by a
rechargeable battery. A new
battery must be charged for
4 hours at least before being used
for the first time. It reaches its
optimum capacity after a few
cycles of use.
When your battery has been discharged, the empty battery icon
flashes. In this case recharge your battery for at least 15 minutes
before making any calls in order not to be cut off quickly.
To recharge the battery:
Connect the charger to a socket.
Plug the end of the cable into the connector at the base of the phone.
The phone is then charging up. The battery icon scrolls up and down
to indicate that it is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the
charging stops on its own. Disconnect the cable.
When charging, the battery may warm up, this is normal.
WARNING
There is danger of explosion if the battery is placed in an
incorrectly way or if it is exposed to fire.
Do not short circuit it.
The battery does not have any part that you can change.
Do not try to open the battery casing.
Use only the appropriate chargers and batteries as shown in
the phone manufacturer's catalogue.
The use of other types of chargers or batteries may be
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
supply plug, etc).
If the battery has entirely discharged, the phone cannot start.
Plug the phone to the charger. The phone will switch on after a
few minutes of charge. You can use the phone again when the
