when delivered. Plug in the charger
cable at the bottom of the phone,
plug in the power supply unit to the
power socket and charge for at least
two hours.

h During charging.
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged
after about 2 hours. Charging is only
possible in an ambient temperature
of 41 °F to 104 °F (the charge icon
flashes as a warning when the tem-
perature is 41 °F above/below this
range). The voltage specified on the
power supply unit must not be ex-
ceeded.
To obtain maximum performance
from the battery, it must be fully
charged and then emptied at least
five times.
Charge icon not visible
If the battery is totally discharged,
no charge icon is displayed when
the charger is plugged in. It will
appear after two hours at most. In
this case the battery is fully charged
after 3-4 hours.
Only use the charger provided!
Display while in service
Charge level display during
operation (empty-full):
adg
A beep sounds when the battery
is nearly empty. The battery level is
only shown correctly during an un-
broken charging/discharging cycle.
You should therefore not remove the
battery unnecessarily and where possi-
ble not finish the loading process early.
Performance
A full battery will deliver between
60 to 300 hours of standby time or
100 to 360 minutes of talktime.
Note
The charger heats up when used for long
periods. This is normal and not dangerous.
Note
Your phone's display is delivered with a protective film.
Remove this film before getting started.
In rare cases the static discharge may cause discoloration at the edges of the display.
However, this will disappear within 10 minutes.
