• The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the phone is 
charged. If you leave the phone connected to the charger, the battery receives 
an additional charge.
Note: 
The battery will accept a “trickle charge” for an additional two hours. 
See “Reference information” on page 87 for more information on batteries.
• Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. See “Batteries” on 
page 95 for charging, talk, and standby times.
PROLONG BATTERY LIFE
For good operation times with NiMH batteries, discharge the battery from time 
to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off. Ignore any 
messages to recharge your battery and let the battery completely discharge.
Important:
 Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
 • SET UP YOUR HEADSET
Your phone is compatible with the HDC-5, HDC-10, HDE-2, and 
HDB-5 headsets. The headset provides convenient, hands-free use 
of the phone. 
Connect the headset
1
Plug the headset plug into the bottom of your phone.
2
Put the round ear plug into one ear.
Use the headset
With the headset connected, you can make 
and answer calls as usual.
The microphone for the headset hangs at the 
side of your head. Although the microphone 
may seem far from your mouth, you can speak 
at a normal volume.
Note: 
You can set your phone to answer automatically when the headset 
is connected. See “Automatic answer” on page 57 for more information.
