The battery charge level is shown at the top right of the LCD screen. When the battery charge
level becomes low, the low battery sensor alerts you in three ways: sounding an audible
tone, blinking the battery icon, and displaying LOW BATTERY WARNING! If the battery
charge level becomes exceedingly low, the phone automatically switches off and any
function in progress is not saved.
Turning the Phone On
1. Install a charged battery or connect the phone to an external power source such as a
cigarette lighter charger or hands-free car kit.
2. Press
for a few seconds until the LCD screen lights up.
• Like any other radio device, avoid any unnecessary contact with the antenna while your phone is on.
Turning the Phone Off
1. Press and hold
until the display turns off.
Call quality depends on the signal strength in your area. The signal strength is indicated on
the screen as the number of bars next to the signal strength icon: The more bars, the better
the signal strength. If the signal quality is poor, move to an open area. If you are in a
building, the reception may be better near a window.
GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR PHONE
• It is important to fully charge the battery before initial use of the phone.
The phone comes with a rechargeable battery. Keep the battery charged while not in use in
order to maximize talk and standby time. The battery charge level is shown at the top of the
LCD screen.
Installing the Battery
To install the battery, insert the bottom of the battery into the opening on the back of the
phone. Push the battery down until the latch clicks.
Removing the Battery
Turn the power off. Pull the release latch up, hold both ends of the battery and remove it.
To use the charger provided with your phone:
Warning! Use only the charger provided with the phone. Using any charger other than the one included with
the CDM9945 may damage your phone or battery.
1. Plug the end of the adapter into the phone’s charger jack and the other end into an
electrical outlet.
2. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level. The maximum charge time for a
fully discharged standard battery is 5 hours.
