2. Battery installation and 
charging
Before you can use your new phone, you need to attach and 
charge the battery.
Attaching the battery
To attach the battery, place it 
on the back of the phone as 
shown and slide it toward the 
top of the phone until it clicks 
into place.
Battery charging
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable NiMH or Li-Ion 
battery. Note that a new NiMH battery’s full performance is 
achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge 
cycles. For charging times, see ‘Charging times’ on page 65.
How to charge your battery
Connect the lead from the charger to the bottom of your 
phone or to a charging stand. Then plug the charger into a 
standard wall outlet.
When the battery is charging, the battery strength indicator 
on the right side of the display scrolls.
Note: When you charge the battery for the first time, the 
battery strength indicator will not scroll the entire time; this 
is normal.
Problems charging
If your phone displays
 Not charging, charging is suspended. 
Check that the battery is connected to an approved charging 
device. If the battery is very hot or cold, wait for a while; 
charging will automatically resume after the battery is 
restored to its normal operating state. If charging still 
fails, contact your dealer.

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 you leave 
your phone connected to the charger.
When is a good time to charge?
You can charge anytime, but remember that when your 
phone displays 
Battery low, you only have a couple of 
minutes of talk time left.
Can I make calls while charging?
Yes, but depending on the charger used, your battery may 
not charge during a call. 
Discharging NiMH batteries
For good operation times, discharge NiMH batteries from 
time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns 
itself off (or by using the battery discharge facility of any 
approved accessory available for your phone). Do not attempt 
to discharge the battery by any other means.
Removing the battery
Note: Switch off the phone before removing the battery!
1Press and hold the 
button at the top of the 
battery.
2Slide the battery toward 
the bottom of the phone.
3Lift the battery off the 
phone.
