8.2 Charging the battery

Your phone is supplied with power via a rechargeable battery. Before a new bat- tery can be used for the first time it must have been charged for at least 4 hours. The full battery performance is only obtained after a few operating cycles.

If the battery charge level decreases below the operating value, the phone will indicate this (the empty battery symbol flashes). When this appears charge the battery for at least 15 minutes before making any other calls, in order to prevent your discussion from being interrupted.

Proceed as follows to charge the battery: Connect the charger to a wall outlet. Carefully open the side cover.

Insert the charger plug into the socket located on the side of the phone.

The phone‘s battery will now be charged. The scrolling battery symbol indicates that the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged the charging process stops automatically. Remove the charger plug from the charging socket. Close the cover. Batteries can become warm during the charging process.

This is a normal occurrence.

WARNING

-Do not short-circuit the battery.

-The casing of the battery should not be opened under any circumstances.

-Only use chargers and batteries from ecom instruments GmbH. The use of other chargers or batteries is not permitted.

-If you do not intend using the phone for a prolonged period, you should remove the battery.
