Confirming before Use
Use the FOMA phone’s dedicated Battery Pack P09.
Life of battery pack
p
Battery packs are consumables. The usable time shortens slightly each time they are charged.
p
When the usable time of the battery pack becomes half the time it was purchased, replacing is recommended because the
battery pack is nearing the end of its life. Depending on the use conditions, the battery pack may swell as it nears the end of
its life, but this is not a problem.
The life of the battery pack is about one year. However, it may shorten if you repeat charging and discharging in a short
period of time, charge in hot environments, or charge continuously over a long period of time.
Charging
p For details, refer to the instruction manuals for the FOMA AC Adapter 01 (option), FOMA AC Adapter 01 for Global use
(option), and FOMA DC Adapter 01 (option).
p The FOMA AC Adapter 01 uses 100 V AC only.
p Even during charging, you can still answer calls if the FOMA phone is turned on. This will consume the charged amount so
that charging will take longer. Also, the standby time or talk time might be shorter if you charge the battery with your FOMA
phone open.
p
If you have a long time video-phone call during charging, the temperature inside the FOMA phone may rise and charging
may be suspended. In such a case, wait for a while and try charging again.
p Remove and insert the connector slowly and carefully, without using unnecessary force.
p Do not remove the battery during charging.
Do not charge for long periods of time (several days) with the FOMA phone turned on.
p
If you leave the FOMA phone powered on for long periods of time during charging, you may not be able to use the FOMA
phone for long duration as expected and low battery alarm may sound soon, because the FOMA phone will receive the
power from the battery after charging is completed. If this happens, charge the battery correctly. When charging the battery
again, first remove the FOMA phone from the AC adapter (or desktop holder) or DC adapter and then set it again.
Estimated usable time for battery
(The usable time for the battery varies with the charging time and the
remaining life of the battery.)
※ The continuous talk time is the estimated time that the FOMA phone can be used for calls when radio waves can be sent and
received normally.
※
The continuous standby time is the estimated time when radio waves can be received normally. The standby time could be about
half of this estimate depending on the battery level, function settings, other ambient conditions such as temperature, and the status
of radio waves in the area (weak or no radio waves, for instance). When you use i-mode communication, the talk/communication
time and standby time will be shorter. Further, even if you do not make calls or not execute i-mode communication, the talk/
communication time and standby time will be shorter if you compose i-mode mail, start up a downloaded i-
α
ppli or the i-
α
ppli
Stand-by display, execute data communication or Multiaccess, use a camera, or play back music.
※
The continuous talk time and the continuous standby time may be shortened depending on the network environment in
your country of stay.
※ The continuous standby time for standstill is the average number of hours you can use the FOMA phone in standstill status
when it is closed and can receive radio waves normally.
※ The continuous standby time for in motion is the average number of hours you can use the FOMA phone in the combined
status of “standstill” “moving” and “out of the service area” when it is closed, in an area where it can receive radio waves
normally.
Estimated time for charging battery
※ The charging time is an estimate of time for when empty battery is charged with the FOMA phone turned off. The charging
time will be longer if you charge the battery with the power of the FOMA phone turned on.
