Q.
What's wrong withmy phone?
Check that you have installed a battery and that the
A.
battery is charged. See pages 21-33 for more
information about batteries and charging.
My battery didn't last as long as I expected. What can I
Q.
do to extend battery life?
Keep in mind that your battery's "talk-time" and
A.
"standby-time" are a relative measurement of the
battery's capacity. The more you talk on the phone, the
less standby-time you will have and vice versa.
To get the most from your battery, make sure you allow it to
fully charge. To charge the battery to 100% of its capacity,
leave it in the charger for an extra hour after the charger's
light turns green.
Certain features demand power from your battery and reduce
battery life. If you have selected the Automatic Display of
Individual Call Timer feature, the display uses battery power
to remain active during each call. Turn this feature off to
conserve battery energy. (See page 96 for more information
on this feature.)
Exposing your battery to extreme temperatures—below -
10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F)—can shorten battery
life. Batteries are especially sensitive to high temperature
extremes. As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone
with you when you leave your car.
