4 Press down slightly and slide the cover until it locks into place. About your phone • CHARGE THE BATTERY Before you begin, you need to prepare your phone by charging the battery. 1 Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet; then connect the lead from the charger to the bottom of the phone. The battery power indicator (or battery bar) appears on the screen and starts scrolling. If the phone is on, Charging appears also. When the battery bar stops scrolling, the battery charge is complete. Battery full appears also, if the phone is on. 2 Disconnect the charger from the phone. • IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION 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. • If the battery is fully discharged, the scrolling bars may not appear immediately when charging. • 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 48 for more information on batteries. • Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. See "Batteries" on page 55 for charging, talk, and standby times. 7 Copyright © Nokia 2003
