Philips E-GSM 1800 - Manual (Page 9)

Getting Started 3
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A
new battery is partially charged and a sound alert will
warn you when the battery reaches low, if the battery
alert in
On (see “Sounds alerts” on page 42).
Once the battery and battery cover are back in place
you can charge the phone. Pull away the protective
rubber cap covering the charger connector (it is
attached to the phone so that you cannot lose it). Plug
in the connector as shown below. Then plug the other
end into a main AC power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge.
During charging, the charge indicators will scroll; it
takes around 2.5 hours to fully recharge your mobile
phone. When all the scroll bars are steady the battery
is fully charged. You can then disconnect the charger.
Depending on the network and condition of use, talk
time goes up to 6 hours and stand-by time up to 400
hours.
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile when the
battery is fully charged will not damage the battery.
The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it,
so use an easily accessible AC power socket. You can
connect the charger to an IT supply (Belgium only).
Setting Hotkeys
You can configure the numeric keys 2 to 9 (except 5,
which is locked, used for the flash) to access your
favourite features simply by long-pressing on the
numeric key. A number of hotkey shortcuts are pre-
configured. For more information, see “Shortcuts” on
page 45.
