PREPARATION

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

To install the battery, place
it flat against the back of
the phone with the tab fac-
ing up and toward the top
of the phone. Then slide
the battery toward the top
of the phone until it snaps
into place.
To remove the battery, be sure the phone is turned
off, then hold down the tab, slide the battery down,
and lift it off the phone.

IMPORTANT BATTERY TIPS

• You must fully charge a new battery at least 24
hours before you first use it. See "Charging the
Battery" on Page 10.
• Use only the supplied charger and use only
batteries recommended for this phone.
• A new battery's full performance is achieved
only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles.
• When you are not using the charger, discon-
nect it from power. Do not leave the charger
connected for more than a week, since over-
charging could shorten the battery's life.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery discharg-
es itself in about a week.
