TIPS TO MAXIMISE BATTERY LIFE

  • Do not leave the battery in a discharged state. Charge the battery promptly when flat.
  • If the battery is in a deep discharge state it can take 30 minutes to start charging. Leave it on charge to recover the battery.
  • Keep your handset and battery cool. High temperatures degrade the battery more quickly.
  • Normal charge time is 2-3 hours. Do not charge more than 24hrs.
  • After 2-3 charge / discharge cycles the battery life will improve. From then on use top up charging to recharge frequently and always charge promptly when flat.
  • When not using the phone for long periods charge to approx 40% and remove the battery.
  • With low network signal conditions battery life is reduced.
  • Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and set the screen brightness to automatic to maximise battery life.

SAFETY

GENERAL STATEMENT ON RF ENERGY

The phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimized for best performance and automatically reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output is very low. Under poor network conditions the phone transmits at a higher power, may get hot and have a shorter battery life.

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)

The phone is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by the ICNIRP. The limits include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines measure the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2W/Kg and the highest SAR value for this device is 1.168 W/Kg.

EMERGENCY CALLS

Emergency calls can be made in all device conditions as long as there is any available network signal. From locked screen conditions press the Emergency Call button to open the dialler, then dial 000 and press the handset icon to make the call. In all other conditions press the Home key to return to the home screen then press the handset icon to open the dialler. Enter the Emergency number (000 or 112) and press the handset icon to make the call.
