Charging and discharging the battery
� Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. � Never remove or replace the battery when the phone is connected to the charger. � Note that a new battery�s full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles! � The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talktime and stand-by time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery. � Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and 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 connected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time. � Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first. � When the battery is running out of power and only few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone is heard and Battery low is briefly displayed. When no more talk time is left, Battery empty is displayed and a warning tone is sounded and the phone switches itself off.
