Battery
Type Talk time Standby
BL-5CB Up to 12.78 hours Up to 720 hours
Important: Battery talk and stand-by times are estimates and only possible under
optimal network conditions. Actual battery talk and standby times depend on SIM
cards, features used, battery age and condition, temperatures to which battery is
exposed, network conditions, and many other factors, and may be significantly
shorter than those specified above. Ringing tones, hands free call handling, use in
digital mode, and other features will also consume the battery, and the amount of
time a device is used for calls will affect its stand-by time. Likewise, the amount of
time that the device is turned on and in the standby mode will affect its talk time.
