The Power/Status Indicator
When your phone is closed, the power/status
indicator on the top of the phone provides
you with the following information:
Looking After Your Phone
! Never leave your phone or battery in extreme temperatures
(over 60°C), for example behind glass in very hot, direct
sunlight.
To clean your phone, use a moistened or antistatic cloth. Do not
use a dry or electrostatically charged cloth.
Your Battery
Charging a New Battery
New batteries are supplied in a totally uncharged state.
To ensure maximum battery performance, a new battery (or
battery that has not been used for several months) should be
charged for at least 14 hours before use.
A
A new battery will require several full charge/discharge cycles
in order to achieve its optimum performance.
A
A new battery, or a battery that has not been used for several
months, may cause a premature fully charged indication.
Ignore this indication and let the battery charge for several
more hours, remove and re-insert the battery into the charger,
and charge for an additional 14 hours.
Battery Design
Your phone is capable of carrying two batteries: the Main and
the Auxiliary battery. These batteries complement each other
because as the phone drains one battery, it automatically
switches to the other, without losing an active call.
Important Battery Information
! Always treat your batteries with care. See ‘Battery Safety’, at
the beginning of this manual.
! Never leave your battery in extremely high temperatures (over
60°C), for example behind glass in very hot, direct sunlight.
To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and use your
battery to it's fullest capacity:
• For the best results, Li-Ion batteries should be charged using
the Desktop Charger.
• The battery should be at or near room temperature when
charging.
