The LED indicators on the left front of the Desktop Charger let 
you know the current state of any charging batteries.

•

Yellow means the phone with a battery is securely installed.

•

Open the phone to see the charge status for the front pocket.

•

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.

The time it takes for your battery to obtain a full charge is 
affected by a variety of factors, including:

•

 Batteries should be at or near room tempera-

ture 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. 

•

 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.
