When battery power becomes low, the phone displays Lo
bAt and sounds a warning tone every few seconds. When
power becomes too low for the phone to operate, it automati-
cally turns off. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.
Note: Rechargeable batteries last longer and perform better
if occasionally allowed to fully discharge. You can do this by
leaving the phone on until the phone automatically turns off or
you can use the battery discharge feature of any approved
accessory available for your phone. Do not try to discharge
the battery by any other means.
REPLACING A BATTERY
DURING A CALL
If you have an extra charged battery and the currently in-
stalled battery becomes low during a call, follow these steps
to change the battery without ending the call or losing the
connection.
1. Tell the other party on the line what you plan to do (tell
them, for example, that they will hear some noise as you
remove the battery and you will call back if for any rea-
son you lose the connection).
