Notes about SIM cards
•
Keep all miniature SIM cards out of the reach of small children.
•
The SIM card and its contacts are easily damaged by scratches or
bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card.
•
You must remove the battery to access the SIM card. Always make
sure that the phone is switched off before you remove the battery.
Install the battery
1
Place the battery in the compartment
with the label side facing up and the
golden contact area aligned with the
contact prongs.
2
Slide the battery into place.
3
Insert the two catches of the back
cover in the corresponding slots in
the phone and slide the cover towards
the bottom of the phone until it
locks into place.
Charge the battery
1
Make sure your phone is turned
off and connect the lead from
the charger to the bottom of the
phone.

2
Connect the charger to a standard
wall outlet. The battery power
indicator (or battery bar) appears on
the screen and starts scrolling.
3
When the battery is 80% charged the
battery bar stops scrolling. Battery
full appears also, if the phone is on.
To obtain 100% battery capacity, allow another 2 hours for a “trickle”
or “maintenance” charge.
4
Disconnect the charger from the phone.
If the battery is completely empty, it might take a few minutes before the
battery bar appears on the screen. For best performance, charge your
phone’s battery for 24 hours before using your phone. The charging time
depends on the charger and battery that you use. For example, the charging
time for the BMC-2 battery with the ACP-8U charger is about 1 hour and
30 minutes.
Battery notes
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from your
battery:
•
With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours
before its first use. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat
this procedure twice for a total of three charging cycles.
•
Battery operation time may be less than the estimated times during
the first charges. This condition is normal.
•
You can use your phone while the battery is charging. However, if the
battery is completely empty, it may need to recharge a few minutes
before you can make or receive calls or the battery indicator appears.
•
After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the charging
cycle, but the calls interrupt the charge. When the phone call ends, the
charge will resume.

The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the
phone is charged. If you leave the phone connected to the charger, the
battery receives an additional charge.
Note: The battery will accept a "trickle charge" for an additional
two hours. See “Reference information” on page 111 for more
information on batteries.
Charging time depends on the charger and battery. For example, charging
time for the BLB-3 battery with the ACP-7U charger is about 4 hours.

1
Switch off the phone.
