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.

- Activation of Bluetooth® function reduces the phone battery life. We advise you to deactivate it when not in use.

Charging the battery

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:

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

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.
