When is charging complete?
When the charge indicators stop scrolling, your
phone is considered fully charged. However, a
slight increase in charge may occur if your
phone is left connected to the charger for a
while. This is called “trickle charge.”
Charging times depend on the type of battery and
charger used.
For approximate charging and operating times, see “Standby
and Talk Times” on page 76.
Can you make calls while charging?
Yes, you can. But your battery may not charge while a
call is in progress. Charging should resume once you
end the call.
Discharging NiMH batteries
A NiMH battery lasts longer and performs better if you
fully discharge it from time to time. To discharge the
battery, leave your phone switched on until the battery
is drained. The phone will display several messages that
the battery is low and that you need to recharge it; just
ignore them. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by
any other means.
