Battery Care and Maintenance
Slim Battery
Slim battery performance is as follows:
*
Standby time refers to the time your phone is not attached to a charger and is
turned on, but not in use.
**
N/A: There is no such mode as secure standby. When a secure mode call is
completed, the phone reverts to clear mode and then transitions to standby.
Battery Life
The shelf life of the standard/slim battery is approximately 12 months.
Recharging the Battery
The battery icon that appears at the top of the screen indicates the battery’s charge. The
more filled the battery icon is, the more charge the battery has (see “Screen Icons” on
page 9). When the battery charge is very low, the icon on the screen blinks, the phone
beeps, and a message alerts you to the low battery level.
The battery does not need to be completely drained before you recharge it. To recharge
the battery, connect the travel charger (model DXTVL0011) to the power input on the
bottom of your phone, then connect the travel charger's plug into a standard wall outlet.
Your phone can either be on or off. However, the charging time will be significantly
reduced if the phone is turned off prior to connecting it to the travel charger. The typical
charge time is less than 2 1/2 hours.

Caution
If the battery charge gets too low, the phone turns off and loses any

Note
If you have not used a standard or slim battery for more than a month, recharge
it before using it.
