7.5 CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. Plug the charger into a power outlet.
2. Plug the charger cable into the device jack. If the
charger is properly plugged in, battery indicator bars

As soon as the battery is fully charged and battery indicator
bars stop blinking, unplug the battery. If the battery is almost
discharged, the telephone will emit a warning sound alert, and
the message “Battery Discharged” will be displayed on the LCD.
If the battery is totally discharged, the phone will automatically

doing so might negatively impact the quality of battery and its
life. To make sure your phone works properly, use only the
charger recommended by the Manufacturer. While charging, do
not remove the back cover. While charging, keep the phone in a
well ventilated area with the temperature between 0°C ~ 45°C.

minutes before battery indicator bars will appear, and the phone
will be ready to use.
If you do not use the phone for a long time, the battery might be
„deeply discharged” – to recover a deeply-discharged battery,
leave the charger plugged in although there is nothing
displayed on the LCD screen. Such recovery might take up to
an hour.
