Appendix C – Battery charging

Battery charging

Handling

A new battery, or a battery that has not been used for a long time, will
require 2 - 3 charge/discharge cycles to achieve its maximum per-
formance with normal use of the WorldPhone.

To discharge the battery use the phone until it shuts down.

Avoid charging a fully charged or nearly charged battery.

Never leave the battery in hot sunlight. Extreme temperatures may
cause permanent reduction of the battery capacity.

Charging

The charging starts automatically once the universal AC adapter or
the car lighter cable is connected to the power source, and terminates
automatically when the battery is fully charged.

Note! When running the WorldPhone on the universal adapter alone (no
battery installed), the battery symbol in the display is replaced by "DC".

Calibration

To ensure correct monitoring of the battery state, it must be fully
discharged before charging the battery pack for the first time.
