Charging the battery
L Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
•
For a full recharging please allow the charger to be connected for about 10
to 14 hours (e.g., over night).
To optimise battery capacity, allow it to fully discharge 3 times in a row.
Then,  to  maintain  its  optimal  capacity,  do  not  wait  until  the  indicator
reaches low (i.e., when only 1 bar is displayed in the battery indicator).
Disconnect the battery if you do not use the phone for several days.
You can use the phone while it is on charge.
If the battery is completely flat, the battery icon will only reappear after 2
or 3 mn of recharging. Meanwhile, you cannot make a call.
1 Once the battery and the battery cover are connected to the phone, plug
the connector into the right hand socket at the base of the phone.
