� Discharging NiMH batteries
A NiMH battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully discharge it from time to time. To discharge the battery, leave your phone switched on until the battery is drained. The phone displays several messages that the battery is low and that you need to recharge it; just ignore them. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
