Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Touchpoint phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery.
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery
provides approximately 150 minutes of continuous digital talk time
(70 minutes in analog) or approximately 150 hours of continuous digital
standby time (16 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When
there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds
an audible alert and then powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and
Browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to charge your phone’s battery and watch your indicator to
ensure your levels are okay.
Installing the Battery
Your phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install it:
1. Place the battery in the opening at a 45-degree angle with the metal
contacts at the bottom, facing downward.
2. Gently press down on the battery until the latch snaps into place.
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery, follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers
or messages.
2. Push the battery release latch up.
3. Remove the battery from the phone at a 45-degree angle.

your phone returns to Standby mode.
Your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention.
You can also initiate a search for service by pressing any key (when your
phone is turned ON).
Note: The Power Save feature helps to conserve battery power when
you are in an area where there is no signal.

䊳Setting and Using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the
network available to you. Your new dual-band phone works anywhere on
the network and allows you to roam on analog and digital networks where
roaming agreements have been implemented.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let
you manage your roaming experience.
Section 3
Understanding Roaming 13

Understanding
Roaming
Charging the Battery
Your phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge the
battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level
becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all
the information you were just working on. For a quick check of your
phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the
upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is
getting too low, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the phone sounds a
warning tone.
Always use an approved desktop charger, travel charger or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.
Using the Desktop Charger
When you are ready to charge your battery, it is vital that you use only
approved desktop chargers and AC adapter chargers. To use the desktop
charger provided with your phone:
1. Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the charger holder and the
other end into the electrical outlet.
2. Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the slot.
䊳Ared light onthe charger letsyou know thebattery is charging.
䊳A green light lets you know that the battery is at least
90 percent charged.
It takes approximately three hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the LiIon battery, it is okay to recharge the battery
before it becomes completely run down.
Section 2
12 Getting to Know Your Phone

䊳There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that
exist with conventional analog services today.
䊳Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for
analog roaming.
Tip: If you’re on a call when you leave the network available to you and
enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog),
your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think
network service is available, turn your phone off and on again to
reconnect to the network.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel
warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the
Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone
accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band phone to control
your roaming experience:
1. From the main menu, highlight Roaming and press .
2. Highlight Set Mode and press .
3. To select an option, highlight it and press .
䊳Network: This setting allows you to select the network available to you
only and prevents roaming on other networks.
䊳Automatic: This setting seeks service on the network available to you.
When network service is unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternative system.
䊳Analog Only: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming
system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.

or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending
on where you’re using your phone.

Analog Networks
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the network, always
dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while
on the network. You may not be able to access certain calling features,
such as wireless Internet.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, your phone will flash Analog Roam
and you will experience the same quality provided by other analog
carriers today. Although certain calling features, such as the wireless
Internet, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls. You
will experience a few differences:
䊳You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and
dropped calls.
䊳Some calling features which are standard on the network
are unavailable.
