About Your Batteries

Your Digital StarTAC phone can use either Lithium Ion (LiIon) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Batteries are available in these sizes: Slim, Standard, and Extra Capacity.

Your phone can use two batteries at the same time. You can use any single battery or battery combination to ﬁt your needs. You can even extend your talk-time by attaching an auxiliary battery at any time, without interrupting your call.

Battery Talk- and Standby-Times

Talk-timerefers to the time you can talk on your phone before the battery is fully discharged. Standby-timeis the time that your phone is on but not used for talking.

Keep in Mind: Talking on the phone uses more power than leaving it idle. The more power you use for talking, the less you’ll have for standby-time, and vice-versa.

For a complete measure of talk-time or standby-time, simply combine the time shown for your main battery to the time shown for your auxiliary battery.

All times depend on the network conﬁguration, signal strength, and the features selected. (Times are approximate for the ﬁrst 500 charging cycles.)
