About Your Phone, Battery and SIM Card 16 English
To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and use your
battery to its fullest capacity:
• The battery should be at or near room temperature when
charging.
Handling Batteries
New batteries are supplied fitted with protective covers. These
covers must be removed before the battery can be used. Save the
covers to carry and store batteries which are not in use. Covers
prevent electrically conductive objects from making contact with
the battery terminals, thereby reducing the risk of injury or
damage from a battery short circuit.
Removing the Main Battery Cover
1 Press and hold the release catch.
2 Press the battery upwards, out of its cover.
Fitting the Main Battery Cover
1 Lower the side of the battery opposite the release catch into
the cover.
2 Lower the side of the battery with the release catch into the
cover, until the catch clicks into place.
Battery Performance and Maintenance
• Best battery performance will be achieved when you regularly
charge and discharge batteries as instructed in this manual.
• Battery performance is greatly affected by network coverage.
• Set Battery Saving Mode to On (see ‘Phone Setup
Menu’) and/or Frequency of Search to Slow or Medium
(see ‘Network Selection Menu’).
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in
approximately one month.
• When not in use, store your battery uncharged in a cool, dark
and dry place.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, a warning signal (two double beeps) will sound, the
border of the battery symbol will begin to flash, and Low
Battery will be displayed.
When the battery is completely discharged, your phone will turn
off.
Charging Your Battery Using the Travel
Charger
The travel charger can power the phone and charge a fitted
battery.
! Ensure that the local mains voltage at your location
matches that of your travel charger.
Fit a battery onto your phone.
To charge your battery:
1 Attach the correct adapter plug to the travel charger.
2 Connect the travel charger to the phone.
