Charging and using the batteries
To charge the batteries, insert the mobile telephone into the charging
shell with the keypad facing forwards.
The charging status is indicated by the charge status display. This
flashes during charging:
Batteries empty
#
Batteries 33% charged
Batteries 66% charged
Batteries 100% charged
Note:
• Initial charging: charge the batteries for at least 16 hours, ir-
respective of the charging status icon. Without replacing it
in the charging shell, use the mobile telephone until the
battery low beep is heard. This action aligns the charge sta-
tus display with the battery operating times.
• To achieve full operating and charging times (see page 10),
let the mobile telephone discharge a number of times with-
out replacing it in the charging shell until the battery low
beep sounds.
• For future charging: you can place your mobile telephone in
the charging shell each time it is used. Charging is electron-
ically controlled which ensures that the battery is charged
optimally.
