Slide indicator

A battery has a slideable indicator which you can use to tell an empty battery from a charged battery. Slide the indicator to the left if the battery is empty -- to the right if the battery is charged.

If you are uncertain of the state of charge of a battery, attach the battery to the phone. Press and hold down the Power key. If the phone does not come on, the battery is probably empty. On the other hand, if the phone comes on, observe the battery meter.

If 5 or 4 is shown, the battery is all right.

3 or 2 indicates that the battery can be used.

1 or 0 indicates that the battery needs recharging.

Recharging

Avoid recharging a battery before the low battery alarm has been issued.

If you often recharge a battery before the low battery alarm has been issued, the battery’s ability to accept a charge will be impaired, with the result that the phone can only be used for shorter and shorter periods between recharges.

If you have problems with a battery, you can proceed as follows:

Do not remove the battery from the phone. Allow the phone to remain ON until it turns itself OFF, after the low battery alarm has been issued several times.

After the phone has turned itself OFF, it still continues to discharge the battery. In the meantime, the message ‘‘DISCHARGIN’’ flashes in the display and the indicator light on the top of the phone shows a steady red light.

Do not remove the battery from the phone until the message ‘‘DISCHARGIN’’ and the red light go out.

After recharging the battery, it can be used for a longer period before the next recharge is required.

With Special Function No. 18 you can at any time discharge a battery. Proceed as follows:

1.Attach the battery to be discharged and turn the phone ON.
