Preparing the Battery
The minimum performance of the 800 mAh, standard Lithium battery is: up to 205 hours standby time and 4.5 hours talk time (typically
3.3hours talk time). These times are estimates only and depend on your location within the network, the frequency at which your location is updated, the type of SIM you have, your reception area or ‘cell broadcast’ messages, and the use of Full Rate or Enhanced Full Rate speech , as well as other factors that affect both standby and talk times.
Charging the Battery the First Time
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new phone battery must be fully charged before using your wireless phone the first time.
Before trying to use your phone, ensure the SIM card is inserted and the battery is in place on the phone. Place the battery terminal end towards the hinge of the phone. Lower the battery toward the phone to lock into place. (See Warning and graphic in right column.).
Connect the NEC battery charger supplied with your phone to a compatible power outlet.
Connect the charger plug into the connector on the base side of the phone. (See graphic in right column.)
Check that the battery icon pulses and the LED, located on the back of the flip cover, glows red. (See Flag and graphic in right column.) To fully charge the battery, leave the phone charging until the LED goes out and the battery icon displays as full.
Checking the Battery
The battery charge indicator shows the approximate charge level of the battery while the phone is in use and not being charged. The blocks on the display show the charge of your battery pack.
Full battery power | Low battery power | Battery empty (red) |
Check the icon at the top, left corner of the screen (the status bar, see page 3).
Low Battery Indication
When the battery voltage falls below the working level, RECHARGE BATTERY appears on the graphics display area and an empty battery icon displays in the status bar. With the recharge notification, the phone also sounds a short tone at
The battery charge continues to drop after the “RECHARGE BATTERY” warning displays. In extreme cases where the battery is left uncharged for some considerable time after the warning is displayed, a trickle charge is used to slowly charge the battery back up to a safe level at which fast charging can begin. During this time, the battery icon will show charging but you are not able to make or receive a call, or fully power up the phone. Normal wireless phone operation resumes once fast charging begins. The phone can be in trickle charge for a few hours before fast charging starts if the battery is left uncharged for some days after the recharge warning.
DO NOT connect a charger or any other external DC source if the phone's battery is not inserted. If this happens, the phone may not function properly.
