Battery care and charging
The battery charge level indicator is shown at the top right of the screen
and ranges between four vertical bars (full charge) to one bar (minimal
charge). If the indicator has no bars, the battery has no charge.
Fully charge the battery immediately after purchasing the phone to
maximize the talk and standby times. The battery does not need to be
completely drained before you recharge it. (See Low battery, page 87, for
more information.)
Follow these guidelines for batteries:
Only use SPOT or Globalstar batteries and chargers designed for this phone.
Do not use any other battery or charger.
To maximize battery life, set the backlight option to “off” (see
Backlight, page 64).
To prevent damage, do not charge the battery in temperatures less
than +32 °F (0 °C) or greater than +104 °F (+40 °C).
Do not use the battery in temperatures less than –4 °F (–20 °C) or
greater than +140 °F (+60 °C).
Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in places with
excessive humidity, such as a bathroom.
Keep the metal contacts at the top end of the battery clean.
Never dispose of the battery in a fire or trash compactor.
Do not try to disassemble or short circuit the battery.
Recharge the battery if the phone has not been used for several months.
Do not store batteries in places where temperatures are below –22 °F
(–30 °C) or above +140 °F (+60 °C).
