Removing a Battery from Your Phone
Removing a Main Battery
To remove a main battery, press the battery release latch and lift
the battery out, away from the phone.
Removing an Auxiliary Battery
To remove an auxiliary battery, slide the battery down until the
two pins are released from the base of the phone, and then lift
the battery off.
Battery Performance and Maintenance
Your phone may have come with one or more of the following
battery types. The talk-time and standby-times given are typical
performance figures:
a. The higher voltage of Li-lon batteries, as compared to NiMH and NiCd, results in
greater efficiencies for talk- and standby-times with this Motorola handset.
b. All times are approximate and depend on network, signal strength and features
selected. Standby-times are specified for DRX=2 to DRX=9.
• With two batteries attached, total talk- and standby-time
available is the sum of both main and auxiliary battery times.
• Best battery performance will be achieved when you regularly
charge and discharge batteries as instructed in this manual.
• Set
Battery Saving Mode
to On (see Phone Setup Menu on
page 51.) and/or
Frequency of Search
to Slow or Medium
(see Network Selection Menu on page 56.) to extend the life of
the battery between charges.
• Keep the antenna fully extended whenever possible to ensure
maximum signal strength.
• Expected life of a battery is about 300-500 charge/discharge
cycles.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself, at
about 1-2% per day, on average.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk-time
remain, your phone will alert you in three ways:
• A warning signal (two double beeps) will sound
• The battery symbol
q
will begin to flash slowly
•
Low Battery
will be displayed
When the battery is completely discharged, your phone will turn
off. Simply install a fresh battery or recharge the exhausted
battery to begin using your phone again.
