When is charging complete?
To allow the battery to completely charge, wait
for the charge indicators to stop scrolling. At this
point, your phone is considered fully charged.
However, a slight increase in charge may occur
if the phone is left connected to the charger, this
is called “trickle charge.”
Charging times depend on which type of battery and
charger is used. For approximate charging and operating
times, see “Accessories” on page 58.
When charging is completed, disconnect the charger from
the AC outlet and from your phone.
Note: When you disconnect the power cord of any acces-
sory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Can you make calls while charging?
Yes, you can. But your battery will not charge while a call
is in progress. Charging will resume when you end the call.
What if charging fails?
If your phone displays 127 &+$5*,1*, charging is sus-
pended. Make sure the battery is connected to an
approved charging device and that the battery is at room
temperature. Extreme temperatures, hot or cold, can af-
fect your battery’s performance and prevent charging.
If charging still fails, disconnect the charger from your
phone. Then reconnect the charger to your phone and re-
try. If you still experience charging problems, contact your
dealer and, if necessary, bring your phone in to have it ser-
viced. Also remember to bring in your battery and charger.
To discharge your battery
There are two ways to properly discharge a battery. You
can leave your phone on while your battery drains, finally
turning itself off. Or you can use the discharge facility of
any approved accessory equipped with this feature.
