Charging a New Battery
To ensure maximum battery performance, it is recommended that
a new battery (or battery that has not been used for several
months) be charged for at least 14 hours before use.
A new battery will require several full charge/discharge cycles
A
in order to achieve its optimum performance.
A new battery, or a battery that has not been used for several
A
months, may cause a premature fully charged indication on
the charger. Ignore this indication and let the battery charge
for several more hours, remove then re-insert the battery into
the charger, and charge for up to 14 hours.
After this initial charge, you can recharge your battery normally,
using the phone's rapid travel charger.
See the chart on the following page for charge times.
