■ Charging the battery
1. Connect the lead from the 
charger to the socket on the 
bottom of your phone.
2. Connect the charger to an AC 
wall socket.
If the battery is completely flat, it 
may take a few minutes before 
the charging indicator appears 
on the display or before any calls 
can be made.
The charging time depends on the 
charger and the battery used. For 
example, charging a BL5-C battery 
with the ACP-12 charger takes 
approximately one hour and 30 
minutes while the phone is in 
standby mode.
■ Switching the phone on 
and off
Warning: Do not switch the 
phone on when wireless 
phone use is prohibited or 
when it may cause 
interference or danger.
Press and hold the 
power key as 
shown.
If the phone asks 
for a PIN code, key 
in the PIN code 
(for example, 
displayed as ****), 
and press OK.
■ Normal operating 
position
Use the 
phone only 
in its 
normal 
operating 
position.
Your phone 
has a built-
in antenna. As with any other radio 
transmitting device, do not touch 
the antenna unnecessarily when the 
phone is switched on. Contact with 
the antenna affects call quality and 
may cause the phone to operate at a 
higher power level than otherwise 
needed.
Not touching the antenna area 
during a phone call optimises the 
antenna performance and the 
talktime of your phone.
