Highlights As one of the most sophisticated cellular phones around, your SC-725 phone offers exceptional features that make life easier, more organized, and more fun! This miracle of modern technology can help you... • receive calls discreetly with the VibraCall™ alert. • know when to charge with the dedicated Battery Level Indicator. • make calls in a flash using the Turbo Dial™ keys. • charge on-the-go with the Internal Rapid Charger and an AC adapter or cigarette lighter adapter.
Safety Information Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: • ANSI C95.
Safety Information Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. Your battery is packed with a protective cover.
Safety Information Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Electronic Devices Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety Information Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
Getting Started Package Content Options Your phone came with at least one battery and one of a variety of chargers, such as the dual pocket IntelliCharge E•P™ Rapid Charger shown on the next page. Your SC-725 Personal Cellular Telephone Batteries Your SC-725 phone can use Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride, Alkaline, or Lithium Ion MicroTac™ batteries. The batteries are available in a variety of sizes, such as Slim, Standard, and Extra Capacity.
Package Content Options Getting Started Chargers There are two ways to charge your SC-725 phone: with the phone’s Internal Rapid Charger or with one of a variety of desktop chargers. All SC-725 phones have an Internal Rapid Charger built right in that can be used with either an AC adapter or a cigarette lighter adapter. Your phone came with either an AC adapter or a desktop charger. Turn to Charging the Battery on page 18 when you’re ready to charge your battery.
Installing the Battery Battery Storage Case Your phone’s batteries are shipped uncharged, protected by a plastic storage case. You should use this case to store and carry batteries. The storage case prevents objects from touching the battery terminals, thereby reducing the risk of injury or damage from a short circuit. To begin using your MicroTAC™ battery, unsnap the top of the plastic storage case and remove the battery.

When the Internal Rapid Charger is in use and the phone is ON, you can still place and receive calls. Just remember, talking on the phone requires energy, so charging will take more time.
Charging the Battery Getting Started With a Desktop Charger If you have a desktop charger: 1. Plug the AC adapter, with the half moon facing down, into the back of the charger. 2. Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a wall socket. You can now begin charging your batteries! The front pocket can be used to charge a battery by itself or attached to a phone.

Approx. 1 - 1.5 hrs. Approx. 7 - 12.5 hrs. Approx. 1-2 hrs. NiMH Batteries Approx. 1 - 1.5 hrs. Approx. 1 - 1.5 hrs. Approx. 7 - 12.5 hrs. Approx. 1-2 hrs. LiIon Batteries Approx. 4 hrs. N/A N/A Approx. 4 hrs.
Charging the Battery Getting Started 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). As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you when you leave your car.
