Welcome and quick guide
Use the antenna
Tip: Your phone has a built-in antenna.
As with any other radio transmitting device,
do not touch the antenna unnecessarily
when the phone is switched on.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
Not touching the antenna area during a phone call
optimizes the antenna performance and the talk-time
of your phone. Normal position: Hold the phone as you
would any other telephone with the antenna pointed
up and over your shoulder.
Install and remove the battery
This section tells you how to install and remove the battery. You will need
to remove the battery when replacing it, or to view the phone’s label
(located under the battery).
INSTALL THE BATTERY
1Place the battery in the
compartment with the label
side facing up and the golden
contact area of the battery
aligned with the contact
prongs inside the phone.
2Press down on the battery
until it snaps into place.

outlet, then connect the lead from the
charger to the bottom of the phone.
2The battery power indicator (or battery
bar) appears on the screen and starts

4Disconnect the charger from the phone.

[ 10 ]
IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from
your battery:
• With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours
before its first use. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat
this procedure twice for a total of three charging cycles.
• Battery operation time may be less than the estimated times during
the first charges. This condition is normal.
• If the battery is fully discharged, the scrolling bars may not appear
immediately when charging.
• After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the
charging cycle, but the calls interrupt the charge. When the phone
call ends, the charge will resume.
• The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the
phone is charged. If you leave the phone connected to the charger, the
battery receives an additional charge.
Note: The battery will accept a “trickle charge” for an additional
two hours. See “Reference information” on page 91 for more
information on batteries.
• Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. See “Batteries”
on page 100 for charging, talk, and standby times.
PROLONG BATTERY LIFE
For good operation times with NiMH batteries, discharge the battery from
time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off.
Ignore any messages to recharge your battery and let the battery
completely discharge.
Important: Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any
other means.

the headset is connected. See “Automatic answer” on page 61
for more information.
