Battery use
The following topics explain how to care for and remove your phone’s battery.
Battery cautions
Storage: Avoid storing or leaving the battery with no charge remaining.
Saved information and settings may become lost or changed, or the
battery may become unusable. Charge once every six months before
storing or leaving unused for a long period of time.
Bulges: Depending on use, bulges may appear near the end of
battery life. This does not affect safety.
Replacement: The battery is a consumable item. It needs to be
replaced if operating time shortens noticeably.
Cleaning: Clean soiled terminals between the battery and phone
with a clean, dry cotton swab. Soiled terminals can result in a poor
connection and prevent charging and other issues.
14
Charge the battery
Follow these instructions to charge your phone’s battery using either the
included AC adapter or via USB connection on your computer.
Charge using the AC adapter
1. Connect one end of the data cable to the USB port located on the bottom
of your phone.
15
2. Connect the other end to the power adapter.
3. Connect the power adapter to an electrical outlet to fully charge your phone.
• Use the power adapter that comes with your phone; using other adapters
may damage your phone.
• Charging your phone with a USB cable connected to a laptop will take
longer than with the power adapter.
• The phone will power off automatically when the battery is too low.
Charge the battery if this happens. When the battery is critically low, the
phone may need a few minutes to build a charge before turning back
on. Playing games or performing other activities while charging may
drain the battery and cause it to power off.
• The battery will gradually discharge if it is left unused for a long period
of time. Before using the battery again, you must recharge it in order to
power on and use your phone normally.
