Troubleshooting
The battery loses | • Are you in an area of variable coverage? This uses extra |
charge faster than | battery power. |
normal | • Is it a new battery? A new battery needs two to three |
| charge/discharge cycles to attain normal performance. |
| • Is it an old battery? Battery performance declines after |
| several years of use. |
| • Is it a battery that hasn’t been completely discharged? Allow |
| the battery to fully discharge (until the Personal |
| Communicator turns itself off) and then charge the battery |
| overnight. |

| Selection menu has not been set to Fast or Continuous. |

| temperatures? At extreme hot or cold temperatures, battery |
| performance is significantly reduced. |
