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. See “Batteries” on page 53 for details.
When charging is completed, disconnect the charger from

the AC outlet and from your phone.

Note: When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory,

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

suspended. 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

affect 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

retry. If you still experience charging problems, contact

your dealer and, if necessary, bring your phone in to have

it serviced. 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.
