Improving antenna performance
The antenna is integrated in your phone, under the lower part of the
back cover.
Avoid putting your fingers on this area when the phone is switched

quickly. It could also affect the quality of your communications.
Increase the battery life of your phone
-Don't press the keys when not necessary: each keypress
activates the backlight, and uses much power.
-Don't obstruct the antenna with your fingers.
-Activation of the Bluetooth
®
function reduces the phone battery
life. We recommend you deactivate it when not in use.

must be charged for 4 hours at least
before being used for the first time. It
reaches its optimum capacity after a
few cycles of use.

discharged, the empty battery icon
flashes. In this case recharge your
battery for at least 15 minutes before
making any call in order not to be cut
off quickly.
To recharge the battery:
-Plug the end of the cable into the phone connector.
-Connect the charger to a socket.
The phone is then charging up. The battery icon scrolls up and
down to indicate that it is charging. When the battery is fully
charged, the charging stops on its own. Disconnect the cable.
When charging, the battery may warm up, this is normal.
When you recharge the battery, make sure that the mains socket
where you plug in the charger is easy to access.
When you charge the battery, the socket on which the charger is
plugged must be easily accessible.
