1. For Your Safety
Read these simple guidelines before using your
phone. Failure to comply with these guidelines
may be dangerous or illegal.
For more detailed safety information, see
Important Safety Information on page 50.
Road Safety Comes First
Don't use a hand-held phone while driving; park
the vehicle first.
Switch Off In Hospitals

ment. Follow any regulations or rules in force.
Switch Off On Aircraft
Mobile phones can cause interference. Using
them on aircraft is illegal.
Switch Off When Refueling

Interference
All mobile phones may be subject to radio inter-
ference, which may affect the performance of
the phone. Therefore, you should never rely
solely upon any cellular phone for essential
communications (e.g., medical emergencies).
Qualified Service
Only qualified service personnel may install or
repair cellular phone equipment. Use only
approved accessories and batteries.

Regulations
FCC/Industry Canada Notice
A cellular phone may cause TV or radio interference
(e.g., when using a phone in close proximity to electronic
receiving equipment). The FCC/Industry Canada can
require you to stop using your cellular phone if such
interference cannot be eliminated. If you require assis-
tance, please 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.
The cellular phone described in this guide is approved
for use in AMPS networks.

2. Battery and Signal
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Use
only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and
recharge your battery only with the chargers approved
by the manufacturer. See “Important Battery Informa-
tion” on page 6.
A new battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. A new
battery’s full performance is achieved
only after two or three complete charge
and discharge cycles!
To Install the Battery
To Remove the Battery
Switch off the power before removing the battery.

4
To Charge the Battery
Plug the charger into a standard
AC wall outlet then connect the
connector to the bottom of your
phone.
When charging starts thebattery
segments scroll and the phone beeps once.
You can use the phone during the
charging, but the charging will be
reducedforthedurationof thecall.
Note that if the battery is com-
pletely empty and you are using
the Standard Travel Charger
(ACH-8U), you can’t use the phone until it has enough
charge to operate.
After the segments of the battery indicator bar
stop scrolling and the bar is entirely displayed,
the battery is charged.
If the battery is too hot or cold, the charging
may be interrupted.
Charging Times
The battery charging times below are approximate.
Battery Standard

(ACH-8U)
Rapid
Charger

Slim 600 mAh NiMH
(BMT-1L) 5 hours 60 minutes
Extended 800 mAh
NiCd (BKL-2S) 6 hours 90 minutes

5
Talk and Standby Times
Battery operation times depend greatly on how you use
the batteries, as well as on the coverage of the network
and network parameters set by the cellular service
provider.
To Discharge the Battery
A battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully
discharge it from time to time!
To discharge the battery, either leave your phone
switched on until it turns itself off or use the battery
discharge feature of any approved accessory available
for your phone.
Note: Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any
other means.
Battery Low
You get this message and a
warning tone when thebattery
charge is low and only a few
minutes of talk time remain.
When the battery charge is too low for the phone to
operate,  is displayed and a
warning tone is given. After about 10 seconds, the
phone automatically switches itself off.
Note: If Silent Service has been selected, no audible
warning tones are given.

Important Battery Information
• Use only batteries and chargers approved by the
phone manufacturer.
• When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the
power source. Do not leave the battery connected
to a charger for longer than a week; overcharging
may shorten its life.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge
itself in about a week at room temperature.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged
or worn out.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short
circuiting can occur when a metallic object
(e.g. 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 circuiting the terminal may damage the
battery or the connecting object.
• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in
a closed car in summer or winter conditions,
reduces the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and
77°F (15°C and 25°C). A phone with a hot or cold
battery may temporarily not work (or charge) even if
the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery perfor-
mance is particularly limited in temperatures below
14°F (-10°C).
• Temperature extremes affect the ability of your
battery to charge: it may require cooling or warming
first.
• When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in
a cool, dark and dry place.
• The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable
parts. Do not attempt to open the case.
• It is recommended that you allow your battery to
fully discharge before you recharge it.

7
• The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out.
When the operating time is noticeably shorter than
normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
• Do not dispose of a battery in a fire!
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Recycle!
Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride
batteries must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Must not be disposed of in
municipal waste.
Signal Strength Indication
A cellular phone sends and receives radio signals. As
with all radio equipment, the quality of radio reception
depends on the strength of the radio signal in the area
where you are operating your phone.
Thestrengthofthecellularsignalisshownby
the vertical bar on the left-hand side of the
display. The higher the bar, the stronger the
signal is where you are operating your
phone.
When is displayed, the phone is
outside of the cellular service area and calls
cannot be made or received.
If the signal is poor and you are using the phone in a
building, you may get better reception near a window.
