•Do not leave the battery in a discharged state. Charge the battery promptly when flat.
•If the battery is in a deep discharge state it can take 30 minutes to start charging. Leave it on charge to recover the battery.
•Keep your handset and battery cool. High temperatures degrade the battery more quickly.
•Normal charge time is 2-3 hours. Do not charge more than 24hrs.
•After 2-3 charge / discharge cycles the battery life will improve. From then on use top up charging to recharge frequently and always charge promptly when flat.

•With low network signal conditions battery life is reduced.
•Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and set the screen brightness to automatic to maximise battery life.
