Charge battery

The battery is not fully charged

when delivered. Plug charger cable

into the bottom of the phone, plug

power supply unit into a mains

power socket and charge for at least

two hours

.

Display when charging is in progress:

h

During charging.

If

Dynamic Light

is activated for

Charging

(page 47) the middle two

LEDs flash slowly to show that the

charging process is in progress.

When the battery is fully charged,

these LEDs switch off.
Charging time
An uncharged battery is fully

charged after about 2 hours. Charg-

ing is only possible within a tempera-

ture range of +5 °C to +40 °C. If the

temperature rises/falls 5 °C above/

below this, the charge symbol

flashes a warning. The mains voltage

specified on the power supply unit

must not be exceeded (Operating

time, page 71).

Charging and Discharging

Note that a new battery's full perfor-

mance is achieved only after two or

three complete charge and dis-

charge cycles. The operations times

provided are reasonable estimates

and may be affected by network con-

ditions, charging and phone usage.
The battery can be charged and dis-

charged hundreds of times but it will

eventually wear out. A noticeably

shorter operating time (talk-time

and standby time) may be an indica-

tion that the battery requires

replacement.
Use only Siemens batteries and

recharge your battery only with

Siemens chargers. When the charger

is not in use, disconnect it from the

power source. Do not leave the bat-

tery connected to a charger for

longer than a week, since overcharg-

ing may shorten its life. If left unused

a fully charged battery will discharge

itself over time.
If the battery is completely empty, it

may take a few minutes before you

can make or receive a call once you

plug the phone into a charger.
Temperature extremes will affect

the ability of your battery to charge:

allow it to cool down or warm up

first.

Note
Keep SIM cards out of reach of small chil-

dren. The SIM cards and its contacts are

easily damaged by scratching or bending,

so be careful when handling, inserting or

removing the SIM card.
