Charging The Battery; Cable Compatibility; Using The Supplied Charger; Charging From A Computer - Punkt MP02 Instruction Manual

Charging the battery

A new MP02 should be completely
charged before being switched on for the
first time. (This will take about 2.5
hours.)
To prevent damage to the USB port or
cable, hold the connector when removing
the USB-C cable from the MP02. Always
pull the connector in line with the USB
socket.

Cable compatibility

The MP02 requires a USB-C cable.

Using the supplied charger

Insert the small end of the supplied
•
USB-C cable (either way up) into the
socket on the bottom edge of the
MP02 with the wider part of the metal
element.
Insert the other end of the cable into
•
the charger provided.
Connect the USB charger to an
•
appropriate mains power outlet. If
necessary, switch the mains supply on.
If the MP02 is switched off, it will now
•
display an image indicating the charge
level as it increases. (this may take a
Punkt. MP02 Mobile Phone - Instruction manual
few minutes to appear). When the
screen goes black, it can be reactivated
by pressing the On/Off button.
When the battery image is solid white,
•
remove the cable by pulling the plug
(always pull in line with the socket,
and never pull the cable). Unplug the
charger from the mains (or switch off
its supply) to conserve electricity.

Charging from a computer

It is also possible to use a computer's
USB socket for charging the MP02.
Before connecting to the computer, from
the Main menu open the Settings menu,
then Connectivity, then Other options. If
the USB connection is set to Sync mode,
press the key to change it to Charge
only.
Charging from a computer will generally
take longer than from a dedicated
charger.

Using a different charger

The MP02 is supplied with a small,
portable charger. Faster charging can be
achieved by using a larger, desktop
charger.
If using a third party USB charger, ensure
that it comes from a reputable source.
There are numerous counterfeit or
otherwise defective chargers on the
market that could damage the MP02
and/or cause a fire.

Troubleshooting

If after several minutes the battery is not
indicating that it is charging, despite the
On/Off button being pressed, carry out
the following tests (in any order).
Test the mains socket by plugging in
•
another electrical device that is known
to be working (e.g. a lamp).
Test the USB power supply by
•
plugging the USB cable into an
alternative USB power source that is
known to be working (e.g. a computer,
see below).
Test the USB cable by using it to
•
connect a different device that is
known to be working, or by using a
different (compatible) USB cable that
is known to be reliable.

Preserving battery charge

If the battery is close to running out of
charge and it is not currently possible
to recharge it, power consumption can
be minimised by taking the following
steps (explained elsewhere in this
manual).
Do not switch off: switching back on
•
again uses a significant amount of
power.
Deactivate the vibration alert
•
feature.
Reduce volume levels. Consider
•
silencing the phone completely (the
screen will illuminate whenever a
call or text message is received).
Deactivate Bluetooth.
•
Try to keep the phone in an area
•
with a strong mobile signal.
Lock the keypad as soon as the
•
phone is no longer in use, to avoid
illuminating the screen
unnecessarily.
