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.

A warning signal (two double beeps) will sound
