4. GETTING STARTED
Charging the battery
Your Hop-on Wireless HOP1806 is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery.
Charge the battery before using the phone. A new battery will reach its nominal
capacity after fully charged and discharged a few times later. In order to use the
battery at its optimum mode, we recommend discharging the battery completely
once a month. To do so, simply keep your phone on until the battery runs out. To
charge the battery, attach it to the phone, then, connect the supplied AC adapter.
Make sure the direction sign is facing upward. When the handset is charging,
the symbol of the battery indicator increases gradually from right to left. The
handset can be charged under both ON or OFF status. When the battery is fully
charged, the battery indicator shows full grid. To remove from the power supply,
unplug the handset from the cable by pressing the buttons on both sides.
Notes on Charging:
 When charging the battery, avoid:
- Charging for long periods of time. It will reduce battery life.
- Charging in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or over 104°F (40°C).
- Charging the battery in direct sunlight or in places with high
humidity (such as bathroom).
 Do not expose the battery to temperatures above 140°F (60°C). For
example, do not leave the battery in direct sunlight on the dashboard of a
vehicle.
 It is normal for the battery to become slightly warm during charging or using.
 Be sure to switch off the handset before unloading the battery, otherwise, it
will shorten the lifespan of the handset and the data saved may be lost.
