Important: If left unused, a fully charged battery will dis-
charge itself over time.
When is a good time to charge?
Actually, you can charge anytime. If you have a NiMH bat-
tery, you should allow it to completely discharge once in a
while.
When your phone beeps once and displays Battery low, you
only have a couple of minutes of talk time remaining. The
repetition rate of these battery-low warnings depend on the
remaining battery capacity and the battery condition. These
warnings are more frequent when you’re in a call.
Note:Thephonewillnotgiveyouthewarningtoneundercertaincon-
ditions.See “Warning andgame tones” on page 77.
Once all the power has drained from your battery, you’ll hear
threebeepswiththemessage Recharge batteryon yourdis-
play. At this point, your phonewill 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 couple more hours.
This is called “trickle charge” or “maintenance
charge.”
Charging times depend on the type of battery and charger
used.

Final version 2/15/99
For approximate chargingand operatingtimes, see“Batteries” on
page 83.
Can you make calls while charging?
Yes, you can. But your battery may not charge while a call is
in progress (depending on which charger you are using).
Charging should resume once you end the call. See "Chargers
& OtherAccessories"on page84 for moreinformation.
Discharging NiMH batteries
A NiMH battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully
discharge it from time to time. To discharge the battery,
leave your phone switched on until the battery is drained.
The phone will display several messages that the battery is
low and that you need to recharge it; just ignore them.
You can also use the battery discharge feature of any ap-
proved accessory available for your phone. Do notattempt to
discharge the battery by any means other than those just
described.
Removing the battery
Note: Switch off the phone before removing the battery!
1. Press and hold the
button at the top of
the battery.
2. Slide the battery
toward the bottom of
the phone.
3. Lift the battery off
the phone.
Important Battery Information
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating
time(talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than
normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
• Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and
7
Finalversion2/15/99
recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by
the manufacturer. When a charger is not in use, disconnect
it from the power source. Do not leave the battery con-
nected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharg-
ing may shorten its life. If left unused afully charged battery
will discharge itself over time.
• (NiMH batteries only) For optimal operation, discharge the
battery from time to time byleaving your phone switched on
until it turns itself off. You can also use the battery dis-
charge feature of any approved accessory available for your
phone.Do not attempt to discharge the battery byany other
means.
• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery
to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.
• Usethe battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn
out.
• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting
can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip, or pen) causes
direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery
(metal strips on the back of the battery), for example when
you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short cir-
cuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the con-
necting object.
• Leaving the batteryin hot or cold places, such as in a closed
car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity
and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery
between 59º F and 77º F (15º C and 25º C). A phone with a
hot or cold battery may temporarily not work,even when the
battery is fully charged. NiMH batteries’ performance is par-
ticularly limited in temperatures below 14º F (-10º C). Li-Ion
batteries’ performance is particularly limited in tempera-
tures below 32º F (0º C).
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with any localregu-
lations.

3. Using Your Phone
The first few days you have your phone, play with it to learn
how the menu and submenu system works. The more you
learn how to access these menus and submenus, the more
fun you’ll have with your phone.
This section describes the different methods of using your
phone menus and submenus.
What is the ‘start screen’?
The start screen appears when you first turn your phone on,
in its idle state.
Anytime you want to get to the start screen, press , ex-
cept during a call (unless you want to hang up).
CAUTION: If you press when the phone is requesting
input (for example, a setting, phone number, name, etc.),the
phone displays the start screen, the input is not saved, and
the option is not selected.
Navigating tools
Softkeys
Your phone has two softkeys that ap-
pear below the display. Their current
function is indicated by the words ap-
pearing above them. Simply press the
corresponding key under the choice
you wish to select.
This illustration shows the phone at the start screen. The
startscreenalwaysdisplaysMenuontheleftandNames on
the right. Menu allows you to access your phone’s menus
and submenus. Names allows you to access your phone
book.
See“Using Shortcuts” on page 11 and “PersonalTone” on page 52.

10
Final version 2/15/99
Scroll key
Your phone has a scroll key located just below your display.
It has two arrows on it that look like
s and t .Pressthe scroll
key up ordown to navigate through your phone’smenusand
submenus. You can also use it to scroll through names and
numbers in your phone book.
Also,when editingnamesand numbers (e.g.numbers in your
phone book), you may notice a cursor flashing within the
name or number. Pressing the scroll key up or down moves
the cursor within the text, allowing you to insert letters,
numbers, or special characters via the keypad.
See “Entering textand numbers” onpage 37 for more details.
Scroll bar
When you access your phone’s menu and submenus,
you will notice a scroll bar at the far right of the
screen. This bar indicates where you are in the menu
structure; each “tab” on the bar represents a different
menu item.
For example, press Menu once. The scroll bar appears with
the first (top) tab displayed. A different tab appears each
time youpressthe
t or s keyto move up and downthrough
the menu structure. The scroll bar works the same way with
submenus.
Scrolling through the main menu
Press Menu at the start screen. Then press t or s to reach
the desired menu item.
Press Select,Options or OK (whichever appears) to enter
submenus and to choose options.
Press Exit to exit the present menu or Back to go back one
level.
Menu & submenu numbering
When you scroll to a menu or submenu, the menu number
11
Finalversion2/15/99
and/or submenu number appears on the display above the
scroll bar. If you become familiar with these numbers, you
can use them as shortcuts for accessing different menus.
For example, when you scroll to Menu 2 (Call log) the num-
ber 2appears in the top right-hand corner of the display. If
you scroll to menu 4 (Settings), submenu 3 (Security set-
tings), your phone will display 4-3 in the top right-hand
corner.
See“Summaryof Menu Items” on page 12 fora listof yourphone’s
features along with theirmenu locations.
Also, see“Using Shortcuts” on page 11.
Using Shortcuts
Nowthat youknowaboutshortcuts,usethemasaquickand
easy way to access a menu without having to scrollthrough
other menus.
Press Menu, then menu number, then submenu number. For
example, press Menu, then 2, then 2 again to access the di-
aled calls feature (Menu 2-2).
Press the menu and submenu numbers within a couple of
seconds of each other when using this method.
Forasummaryofyourphone’smenustructure,see“SummaryofMenu

onds and help text will automatically appear for most of
your phone’s features. Press More to see the next page of
the text or Back to exit the help text. After a while,the help
