2. Getting Connected
So youve just bought your new phone, taken it out of
the box, and youre wondering what to do next. Well,
this chapter will help get you started.
Installing your battery
Simply place the battery in the grooves on the back of
your phone. Then slide the battery upward until it clicks.
Note: Use only those batteries approved by the phone manu-
facturer and recharge your battery only with the chargers
approved by the manufacturer.
See Important Battery Information on page 8.
Charging your new battery
Your phone can be used with either a rechargeable
Li-Ion or NiMH battery. Note that a new batterys full
performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles.
With your phone on or off, simply connect the lead from
the charger to the bottom of your phone or place it on
a charging stand. Then connect the charger to a
standard 120V AC outlet.
When the battery begins charging, your phone will beep
once and the battery strength indicator on the right side
of the display will scroll.

6
Note: If youre charging the battery for the first time, the battery
strength indicator bars will not scroll the entire time. If your
phone is off, the scroll bars will disappear long before the 24
hours have elapsed. This is normal. If your phone is on, the
scroll bars will stop scrolling after a while. Either way, charge the
battery for the entire 24-hour duration.
If your phone displays 1RW FKDUJLQJ, charging is sus-
pended. Check that the battery is not connected to a
non-approved charging device. If the battery is very hot
or cold, wait for a while; charging will automatically re-
sume after the battery is restored to its normal operating
state. If charging still fails, contact your dealer.
When is a good time to charge?
Actually, you can charge anytime. If you have a NiMH
battery, you should allow it to completely discharge
once in a while.
When your phone beeps once and displays %DWWHU\ ORZ,
you only have a couple of minutes of talk time remain-
ing. The repetition rate of these battery-low warnings
depend on the remaining battery capacity and the bat-
tery condition. These warnings are more frequent when
youre in a call.
Note: The phone will not give you the warning tone under
certain conditions. See Warning tones on page 71.
Once all the power has drained from your battery, youll
hear three beeps with the message 5HFKDUJH EDWWHU\ on
your display. At this point, your phone will switch itself
off and youll need to recharge your battery.
When is charging complete?
When the charge indicators stop scrolling, your
phone is considered fully charged. However, a
slight increase in charge may occur if your
phone is left connected to the charger for a
while. This is called trickle charge.
Charging times depend on the type of battery and
charger used.
