About your phone
• IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from your battery:
•
With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours before its first use. 
Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat this procedure twice for a total of 
three charging cycles.
•
Battery operation time may be less than the estimated times during the first charges. 
This condition is normal.
•
If the battery is fully discharged, the scrolling bars may not appear immediately 
when charging.
•
After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the charging cycle, but the 
calls interrupt the charge. When the phone call ends, the charge will resume.
•
The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the phone is charged. If 
you leave the phone connected to the charger, the battery receives an additional charge.
Note: The battery will accept a “trickle charge” for an additional two hours. See 
“Reference Information” on page 47 for more information on batteries.
•
Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. See “Hardware and accessories” 
on page 45 for charging, talk, and standby times.
• PROLONG BATTERY LIFE
For good operation times with NiMH batteries, discharge the battery from time to time by 
leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off. Ignore any messages to recharge your 
battery and let the battery completely discharge.
Note: Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
• HEADSET
Your phone is compatible with the HDC-5, HDE-2 and HDB-5 headsets.
