Tips: Regarding the battery
ATo ensure maximum battery performance, a new battery (or a battery that has not
been used for several months) should be charged for at least 14 hours before use (but
NOT more than 24 hours).
A new battery will require several full charge / discharge cycles in order to achieve its
optimum performance.
AA new battery, or a battery that has not been used for several months, may cause a
prematurely fully charged indication. Ignore this indication and let the battery charge
for several more hours.
ADo not use lithium ion batteries at extremely low temperatures as the maximum
standby / talk time will not be available when cold.
Battery Performance and Maintenance
•Best battery performance will be achieved when you regularly charge and discharge
batteries as instructed in this manual
•Battery performance is greatly affected by network coverage.
•Set "Battery Saving Mode" to on (see Phone Setup menu) and / or "Frequency of
Search" to slow or medium (see Network Setup menu).
•If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in approximately one month.
•When not in use, store your battery uncharged in a cool, dark and dry place.
Important Battery Information
Always treat your batteries with care. See the Safety Information on batteries.
•Never leave your batteries in extremely high temperatures (over 60 degrees Celsius), for
