Using your phone 17
Using your phone
Improving antenna performance
The antenna is integrated in your phone, under the back cover at the top.
Avoid putting your fingers on this area when the phone is switched ON.
If your fingers obstruct the antenna, the phone may have to operate with a higher
power level than usual; decreasing its efficiency 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 IrDA or Bluetooth functions reduces the phone battery life. We advise you to deactivate them when not in use.

Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery 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.

case recharge your battery for at least 15 minutes before making any calls in
order not to be cut off quickly.
To recharge the battery:
Connect the charger to a socket.
Plug the end of the cable into the bottom connector of the phone.
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.
WARNING
There is danger of explosion if the battery is placed in an incorrectly way or if it is exposed to fire.
Do not short circuit it.
The battery does not have any part that you can change.
Do not try to open the battery casing.
Use only the appropriate chargers and batteries as shown in the phone manufacturer's catalogue.

Used batteries must be disposed of in the appropriate places.
We advise you to take the battery out if you plan not to use the phone for extended periods.
You are strongly advised not to connect your phone to the charger if it doesn’t contain a battery.
The charger is a safety step-down transformer, it is forbidden to modify, alter or replace it by another component (power
supply plug, etc).
