FCC/Industry Canada Notice
Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (for example,
when using a telephone in close proximity to receiving
equipment). The FCC or Industry Canada can require you to
stop using your telephone if such interference cannot be
eliminated. If you require assistance, contact your local
service facility.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation
is subject to the condition that this device does not cause
harmful interference.
Using this Guide
The wireless phone described in this guide is approved for
use in AMPS 800, CDMA 800, and CDMA 1900 networks.
Network services
A number of features included in this guide are called network
services. They are special services provided by wireless service
providers. Before you can take advantage of any of these
network services, you must subscribe to the service(s) from your
home service provider and obtain instructions for their use.

2. Battery installation and
charging
Before you can use your new phone, you need to attach and
charge the battery.
Attaching the battery
To attach the battery, place it
on the back of the phone as
shown and slide it toward the
top of the phone until it clicks
into place.
Battery charging
Several rechargeable batteries are available for use in your
phone. Note that a new NiMH battery’s full performance is
achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles (see “Charging times” on page 71).
How to charge your battery
Connect the lead from the charger to the bottom of your
phone or to a charging stand. Then plug the charger into a
standard wall outlet.
When the battery is charging, the battery strength indicator
on the right side of the screen scrolls upwards.
Note: When you charge the battery for the first time, the
battery strength indicator will not scroll the entire time; this
is normal.
