About your phone
• If you switch the phone on when
charging is complete, the message
Battery full is displayed momentarily.
• Charging time depends on the charger
and battery used. Please see “Battery
information” on page 83 , for more
information.
• If the battery has become completely
empty, you may need to recharge it for
a few minutes before you can make or
receive calls.
Prolong battery life
A battery lasts longer and performs
better if you fully discharge it from time
to time. To discharge your battery, leave
your phone switched on until the battery
drains completely.
Ignore any messages
to recharge your battery and let the
battery completely discharge.
Important: Do not attempt to
discharge the battery by any
means other than those just
described.
• SWITCH YOUR PHONE ON
To switch your phone on or off, press and
hold the power key (located on the top of
the phone) for two seconds.
Warning! Do not switch on the
phone when wireless phone use
is prohibited or when it may
cause interference or danger.
• CHECK THE START SCREEN
The Start screen refers to the phone’s
display when no calls are in progress, and
there are currently no menu or phone
book entries displayed.
You can easily return to the Start screen
from any location (other than an active
call) simply by pressing the End key.
However, keep in mind that any text or
numbers that you were entering at the
time will be lost, and your work will not
be saved.
The following table describes the status
indicators and icons found on the Start
screen:
