WorldPhone – Chapter 1. Getting Started

1.8

The WorldPhone turns off automatically once the battery has dis-
charged, to avoid damaging the cells. It must now be powered from
an external source for operation and recharging of the battery.
The WorldPhone may be connected to an AC source using the Uni-
versal AC Adapter, or directly to a 12-32 V rated DC source.

The battery is charged even if the WorldPhone is turned off.
The indicator shading increases as the battery re-charges.

For charging and replacement of the battery, see

appendix C

.

Warning! Problems with the transmission may occur when the battery
charge level is low.
Avoid exposing the WorldPhone to extreme heat or cold. Very high or
low temperatures reduce the battery capacity.
