Motorola PCS telephone manual Low Battery Warning, Charging Your Battery Using the Power Adapter

Page 15

With two batteries attached, total talk- and standby-time available is the sum of both main and auxiliary battery times.

Best battery performance will be achieved when you regularly charge and discharge batteries as instructed in this manual.

Set Battery Saving Mode to On (see Phone Setup Menu

on page 49) and/or Frequency of Search to Slow or Medium (see Network Selection Menu on page 54) to extend the life of the battery between charges.

Keep the antenna fully extended whenever possible to ensure maximum signal strength.

Expected life of a battery is about 300-500 charge/discharge cycles.

If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself, at about 1-2% per day, on average.

Low Battery Warning

When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk-time remain, your phone will alert you in three ways:

A warning signal (two double beeps) will sound

The battery symbol will begin to flash slowly

Low Battery will be displayed

When the battery is completely discharged, your phone will turn off. Simply install a fresh battery or recharge the exhausted battery to begin using your phone again.

If you have an auxiliary battery fitted, it is used before the main battery. A tone sounds when changing to the main battery.

Charging Your Battery Using the Power Adapter

The power adapter can be connected directly to your phone for convenient rapid battery charging. It will charge the batteries fitted to your phone, charging the main battery first to 95% capacity, then switching to charge the auxiliary battery

(if attached).

To charge:

1Fit one or two batteries onto your phone.

2Snap in AC plug into the top of the power adapter.

3Plug the power adapter to the phone.

4Insert the power adapter plug into a 110V AC electrical outlet.

A beep-tone sounds and the battery icon flashes when charging begins.

AYour phone can be either on or off during charging.

The state of charging is monitored and displayed by your phone.
