Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal
strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless

If certain features are in use (Keyguard, fixed dialing, restrict

communication at the scene of an accident - do not cut off the
call until given permission to do so.
Important Battery Information
• Note that a new battery’s full performance is achieved
only after two or three complete charge and discharge
cycles!
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating
time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter
than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
