Can I make calls while charging?
Yes, but depending on the charger used, your battery
may not charge during a call.
Discharging NiMH batteries
An 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. After the phone turns
itself off, connect the charger and fully recharge the
battery.
Note: Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other
means.
When do I need to buy a new battery?
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds
of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the oper-
ating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, it’s time to buy a new battery.

Note: Switch off the phone before removing the battery!
1) Press and hold
the button at the
top of the battery
2) Slide the battery
toward the bottom
of the phone
3)
Lift the battery off the phone
