Charging and discharging the battery
• Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
• Never remove or replace the battery when the phone is
connected to the charger.
• Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles!
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times
but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-
time and stand-by 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.
• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to
charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.

of talk time remain, a warning tone is heard and

is
briefly displayed. When no more talk time is left,

is displayed and a warning tone is sounded and the phone
switches itself off.
