Alternatively, you may use the battery discharge featureof any approved accessory available for your phone.Note: Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any othermeans.Recharging a BatteryWhen the battery charge is low and only a few minutes of talktime remain, a warning tone will be given and the message BAT-TERY LOW will be repeated at regular intervals on the display.When the battery charge level is too low for the phone to operate,the RECHARGE BATTERY message will be displayed and a warningtone will be given before the phone automatically switches itselfoff (after about 10 seconds).Note: If set to SILENT SERVICE (see Ringing Volume on page 38),only the display messages appear.Charge the battery as described in Getting Started on page 12.Using Batteries• A new battery’s full performance is achieved only after two orthree complete charge and discharge cycles.• A battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times,but it will eventually wear out.
