Make sure you charge up the battery before you use your handset for the first time as it ships out
with only a low charge level. To do so, place the handset (switched on or off) in the charger cradle. If
the handset is switched off (e.g. after the battery has been inserted for the first time), it will remain
switched off in the charger cradle, but will still be charging. The LED flashes alternately green and
red to indicate this status. If you switch the handset on (see page 24) the handset’s current charge
level is indicated on the display (see page 12).
It takes three to five charge and discharge cycles for the battery to achieve maximum performance.
So make sure you place the handset in the charger cradle regularly to achieve the optimum battery
charge.
Charging and durations
Charging time in the charger cradle (empty battery):
Full capacity: 2,5 hours (standard battery), 5 hours (power battery).
Charging time with USB charging device:
Full capacity: 5 hours (standard battery), 10 hours (power battery).
Talk time:
Standard battery - up to 15 hours (when fully charged) for North America.
Standard battery - up to 12 hours (when fully charged) for other countries.
Power battery - up to 30 hours (when fully charged) for North America.
Power battery - up to 24 hours (when fully charged) for other countries.
Standby time:
Standard battery - up to 105 hours (when fully charged) for North America.
Standard battery - up to 110 hours (when fully charged) for other countries.
Power battery - up to 190 hours (when fully charged) for North America.
Power battery - up to 200 hours (when fully charged) for other countries.
Note
Poor radio signals (far away from the system base station) reduce the handset standby and talk
times. High loudspeaker or ringer volume, frequent key activation and display illumination as well as
active vibration alarm and
Bluetooth operation are features that can specifically shorten standby
and talk times.

Installation
• Never carry or store the battery together with electrically conducting objects (neck chains, pencil
leads, etc.)
• Never attempt to open the battery, never modify it in any way or subject it to severe blows.
• Never immerse the battery in fresh or salt water.
• Never use or leave the battery in direct sunlight, in a vehicle parked in blazing sunlight or in any
other location with high temperatures.
• If you ever notice liquid leaking out, unusual odour, build-up of heat, discolouration, deformation
or any other abnormal condition when you use, charge or store the battery, remove the battery
immediately from the handset and keep it away from naked flames.
• The battery fluid can damage your sight. If at any time battery fluid accidentally gets into your
eyes, rinse your eyes immediately with clean tap water and contact a doctor.
• If the battery is to be used by children, make sure a responsible adult instructs the children in the
precautions and proper handling, and make sure the children handle the battery correctly.
• If battery fluid accidentally gets onto your clothing or skin, rinse the affected place immediately
with pure tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can lead to skin inflammation.
Precautions during use
• The battery is designed for use with these handsets only.
• Only use the charger cradle supplied for charging.
• A new battery is not charged so you need to charge it before using for the first time.
• Using the battery in a cold environment can shorten the expected operating life of a full charge.
Charge the battery at a location with a temperature between 10° C and 35° C. Charging outside
this temperature range can lead to a longer-than-usual charging time or even to failure of the
charging process.
• An extremely short operating time after a full charge indicates that the lifetime of the battery has
expired. Replace the battery.
• Never wipe the battery with thinners, benzene, alcohol, or other volatile substances, or chemically
treated cloths. These can cause deformation of the battery and malfunction.
• If you need to send your handset with an installed li-ion battery or li-ion batteries separately,
make sure you comply with the applicable laws and regulations with regard to the shipment of
hazardous goods.
