Battery information
Your phone is powered by a
rechargeable battery . Take good care
of the battery and follow the
guidelines below
.
Charging and discharging the
battery
A new battery'sfull 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
standby 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 chargerfor longer
than a week, since overcharging
may shorten its life . If left unused
a fully charged battery will
discharge itself over time .

Using the batteries
"

Use the battery only for its
intended purpose .
Forgood operation times,
discharge the NiMH battery from
time to time by leaving your phone
switched on until it turns itself off .
Do not attempt to discharge the
battery by any other means .
Temperature extremes will affect
the ability of your battery to
charge : allow it to cool down or
warm
up
first
.
When the battery is running out of
power and only few minutes of
talk time
remain,
a
warning
tone is
heard and Botterylowisbriefly
displayed . When no more talk time
is left, Battery empty is displayed
and a warning tone is sounded and
the phone switches itself off .
Never use any charger or battery
which is damaged or
worn
out .
Do
not
short-circuit
the battery .
Accidental
short-circuiting
can
occur when
a metallic
object (coin,
clip or
pen) causes
direct
connection
of
the + and -
terminals of the
battery (metal
strips
on the back
of the battery)
for
example when
you carry a
spare
battery in
your pocket or
purse .
Short-circuiting the
terminals may
damage the
battery
or the connecting
object .
Leaving the
battery in hot or
cold
places, such
as in a closed car
in
summer or
winter conditions, will
reduce the
capacity and lifetime of
the battery .
Always try to keep the
battery between
15°C and 25°C
(59°F
and 77°F) . A phone with a
hot or cold
battery may
temporarily
not work, even when
the battery
is fully charged .
Battery
performance is
particularly
limited in
temperatures below freezing
point .
Do not
dispose of batteries in a
fi re!
Batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly . They
must not be disposed of in
municipal waste!
