If your phone displays
Not charging
, charging is suspended.
Check that the battery is connected only 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 temperature.
If charging still fails, contact your dealer.
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.
Important
: If left unused, a fully charged battery will
discharge itself over time.
When is a good time to charge?
Actually, you can charge anytime. If you have a NiMH
battery, you should allow it to completely discharge once
in a while.
When your phone beeps once and displays
Battery low
,
you only have a couple of minutes of talk time remaining.
The repetition rate of these battery-low warnings depend
on the remaining battery capacity and the battery
condition. These warnings are more frequent when you’re
in a call.
Note: The phone will not give you the warning tone under
certain conditions. See “Warning and game tones”
on page 80.
Once all the power has drained from your battery, you’ll
hear three beeps with the message
Recharge battery
on
your display. At this point, your phone will switch itself
off and you’ll need to recharge your battery.
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 your phone
is left connected to the charger for a couple more
hours. This is called “trickle charge” or
“maintenance charge.”
