Notes:

• You can use your phone during charging.

For faster charging, however, do not use
the phone and turn it off.

• If the battery is too hot or cold, charging

stops until the battery temperature returns
to normal.

3. The battery charge bar stops scrolling when

the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the
charger from the AC outlet first, then discon-
nect it from the phone.

Using the supplied battery (fully charged), you
have about 2 hours of talk time or 26 hours of
standby time.

When to Recharge the Battery

Your phone displays the battery charge bar when-
ever the phone is on to keep you informed about
the battery’s power level. The higher the bar, the
more power there is left in the battery.

You can recharge the battery (as described in
“Charging the Battery” on Page 10) at any time.
However, when your phone gives you these low-
battery indications, recharge the battery as soon as
possible:

• When only a few minutes of talk time remain,

the phone sounds a warning tone and displays

BATTERY

LOW

at regular intervals.
