Charging the battery
A travel adapter is provided for charging your
batteries. The travel adapter allows you to use the
phone while the battery is charging, but this will
cause the battery to charge more slowly.
1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug
the connector of the travel adapter into the
jack at the bottom of the phone.
Make sure that the arrow on the connector is
facing toward the front of the phone.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.
The battery strength icon on the display shows
that the battery is charging.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter
from both the power outlet and the phone by
pressing the buttons on both sides of the
connector and pulling the connector out.
Note: Do not remove the battery from the phone
without unplugging the adapter while it is
charging. Otherwise, the phone may be
damaged.
Low battery indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes
of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and a
message repeats at regular intervals on the
display. When this happens, your phone turns off
the backlight to conserve the remaining battery
power.
If the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.

Switching on or off the phone
1. Open the phone.
2. Press and hold the END key until the power-on
image displays to switch on the phone.
The service light on the phone flashes and an
alert sounds. When the system locates
services, the greeting message displays along
with the time and date. You can now place and
receive calls.
If the phone is out of service, the No Service
icon (
) appears on the display. In this case,
you cannot place and receive calls. You can try
again later when service is available.
Note: You can change the display language in
the Language menu. For further details,
see page 56.
3. When you wish to switch off the phone, press
and hold the END key for more than two
seconds until the power off image displays.
WARNING!
Do not switch on the phone when mobile phone
use is prohibited or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Note: As with any other radio-transmitting device,
do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when
the phone is switched on. Contact with the
antenna affects the call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
