The more black bars there are in the icon, the greater the charge.

When your battery is very low, the screen icon blinks, the phone beeps, and a message alerts you to the low battery

level. Press or under [OK] to acknowledge the message.

Tip—To reduce drain on your battery, set the backlight to “always off.” (See “Display” on page 61.) (See page 68 for more tips on using the battery.)

Hot swapping

If the external battery runs out of power during a call, the internal battery takes over automatically so you do not lose the call. This process is called

hot swapping. A low battery message appears. Press or under [OK]. The battery icon then displays the status of the internal battery.

If the internal battery power falls low during a call, snap on an external battery. The phone uses the external battery without dropping the call. The battery icon displays the charge level of the external battery.

Note—The external battery does not charge the internal battery.
