Low Battery Indicator
When the battery power is low and only a few minutes of talk
time remain, a warning tone sounds, the “Battery Low” message
repeats at regular intervals on the display, and the empty battery
icon (
) blinks. The backlight turns off to conserve the
remaining battery power.
Note:
If your phone is in Silent Mode, the Low Battery Indicator defaults to
Vibration (see
“Sound Profile”
on page 48.). If you change the alert
from
Vibration
to
Mute
, you will only see a flashing message
indicating a low battery.
If the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off. Recharge your battery.
