Charging Batteries
Desktop Charger Indicators
Getting Started
The LED indicators on the left front of the Desktop Charger let you know the current state of any charging batteries.
The Front Pocket LED Indicator:
� Yellow means the phone with a battery is securely installed. � Open the phone to see the charge status for the front pocket.
The Rear Pocket LED Indicator:
� Red means the battery is charging. � Flashing yellow means the battery is waiting to be charged. � Green means the battery is charged to 90% of its capacity.
Another hour of charging will bring it up to 100% capacity.
� Flashing red means the battery is damaged and cannot be
charged.
Desktop Charger Charging Times
The time it takes for your battery to obtain a full charge is affected by a variety of factors, including:
� Temperature Batteries should be at or near room temperature when charging. To prolong battery life and charge capacity, avoid exposing your batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). It is a good idea to take your phone with you when you leave your car.
� Inactivity New batteries, or batteries that have been stored
for long periods of time, may not rapid charge properly. In these instances, the battery requires an overnight charge.
� Extended Usage Over extended periods of time, batteries
gradually wear down and require longer charging times. This is normal. If you charge your battery regularly and notice a decrease in talk-time or an increase in charging time, then it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
