The Power/Status Indicator
When your phone is closed, the power/

provides you with the following
information:
Care and Storage
• Never leave your phone or battery in extreme temperatures
(over 60˚C), for example, behind glass in very hot, direct
sunlight.
• To clean your phone, use a moistened or antistatic cloth. Do
not use a dry or electrostatically charged cloth.
• To prolong the life of your batteries, avoid exposing them to
temperatures below -10˚C (14˚F) or above 45˚C (113˚F).
A
Please note that exposing Lithium Ion batteries to prolonged
elevated temperatures, such as those that can develop in an
enclosed vehicle, may permanently degrade battery
performance.
Your Battery
Charging a New Battery
To ensure maximum battery performance, a new battery (or
battery that has not been used for several months) should be
charged for about 3-4 hours before use.
A
A new NiMH battery may require several full charge/discharge
cycles in order to achieve its optimum performance.
After this initial charge, you can recharge your battery at your
convenience, using the phone’s rapid travel charger.

See the chart on page 15 for charge times.

charging.
