Your Battery
The carrying cassette uses a rechargeable lead-acid battery. The 
life of a battery can be greatly affected by the charging method 
as well as the use.
Charging a New Battery
To ensure maximum battery performance, it is recommended 
that a new battery (or battery that has not been used for several 
months) be charged for at least 14 hours before use.
AA new battery will require several full charge/discharge cycles 
in order to achieve its optimum performance.
Important Battery Information
To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and use your 
battery to it's fullest capacity:
• Always use Motorola approved battery chargers.
• The battery should be at or near room temperature when 
charging.
• Once a week, allow your battery to discharge completely 
before recharging (to fully discharge, leave your phone on 
until it turns itself off).
Battery Performance and Maintenance
The talk time and standby times given are typical performance 
figures for the lead acid battery:
• Best battery performance will be achieved when you regularly 
charge and discharge batteries as instructed in this manual.
• Battery performance is greatly affected by the coverage of the 
GSM network.
• Set Battery Saving Mode to On (see Phone Setup Menu) 
and/or Frequency of Search to Slow or Medium (see 
Network Selection Menu).
• Keep the antenna fully extended whenever possible to ensure 
maximum signal strength.
• The performance of your batteries will gradually reduce if used 
substantially.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in 
approximately one month.
• When not in use, store your battery uncharged in a cool, dark 
and dry place.
