TIPS TO MAXIMISE BATTERY LIFE

•

Do not leave the battery in a discharged state. Charge the
battery promptly when flat.

•

If the battery is in a deep discharge state it can take 30 minutes
to start charging. Leave it on charge to recover the battery.

•

Keep your handset and battery cool. High temperatures degrade
the battery more quickly.

•

Normal charge time is 2-3 hours. Do not charge more than
24hrs.

•

After 2-3 charge / discharge cycles the battery life will improve.
From then on use top up charging to recharge frequently and
always charge promptly when flat.

•

When not using the phone for long periods charge to approx
40% and remove the battery.

•

With low network signal conditions battery life is reduced.

•

Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and set the screen
brightness to automatic to maximise battery life.
