• Charge your battery

1. With your phone on or off, connect the

lead from the charger to the bottom of the
phone.

2. Connect the charger to an AC wall outlet.

The battery indicator bar starts to scroll
after a few seconds.

3. Disconnect the charger from the phone

and AC outlet when the battery is fully
charged.

Note: When the indicator bar stops scrolling, the battery will accept a

"trickle charge" for an additional 2 hours until it is 100% fully
charged (except BMS-2V). See “Charging Times” on page 96 for
more information.

Important battery information:

Recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the
manufacturer.

The phone can be used while charging if the phone is switched on.

If the battery is totally empty, it may take a few minutes before you
can make and receive calls, and before the charging indication appears
on the display. For more information about specific chargers, see
pages 98-100.

If the phone is switched on when charging is completed, Battery full
is displayed on the screen momentarily.

Unlike NiMH batteries, the BLS-2S Li-Ion battery does not need to be
fully discharged before recharging.

Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. For example,
the charging time for the BLS-2S battery with the ACP-8U charger
takes about 2 hours. See page 96 for charging times.
