while, store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry
place, such as a refrigerator.

Over extended periods of time, batteries
gradually wear down and require longer
charging times. This is normal. If you charge
your battery regularly and notice a decrease
in talk-time or an increase in charging time,
then it is probably time to purchase a new
battery.

Battery life depends on the battery used,
network configuration, signal strength, and
the features selected. Talking or using
features on the phone uses more power than
leaving it idle.

Your phone operates more efficiently in
digital mode than in analog mode.
Quick Change Power Source
The quick change feature enables you to switch
