Caring for batteries
Standby and talk times
Your phone works closely with the network you are using to provide the services you need, and the standby and talk times achieved will
depend on how you use the phone and choices made by the network operator.
In particular, factors such as your location within the network, the frequency at which this location is updated, the type of SIM card you have,
your reception of area or ‘cell broadcast’ messages and the use of Full Rate or Enhanced Full Rate speech, will affect both standby and talk
times.

IMPORTANT BATTERY CHARGING INFORMATION
Charging a very low battery
The battery’s charge continues to drop after the “Charge the battery” warning is displayed. In extreme cases where the battery
is left uncharged for some considerable time after this warning is displayed a trickle charge is used to slowly top-up the battery
to the safe level at which ‘fast charging’ can begin. During this time the charging icon will display but you will not be able to
make or receive a call, or fully power up the phone. Normal operation is resumed once fast charging begins. The phone can be
in trickle charge for a few hours before fast charging starts if the battery is left uncharged for some days after the “Charge the
battery” warning is displayed.
