Note:

When inserting the microSD card, make sure that the gold contacts face downward.

Installing the Battery

With battery label print face up, insert the end with the metal contacts into the bottom of the compartment, so they align with the contacts in the phone, then lower the battery into position.

Charging the Battery

Before charging the battery, ensure that it has been properly inserted into your phone.

1. Connect the USB cable that came with your mobile phone to the charger.

2. Open the rubber USB port cover. Connect the USB cable to your mobile phone, ensuring the USB symbol on the plug is face up (assuming screen facing up).

3. Then, plug in the charger to an electrical outlet.

Note:

In the event that the battery has been discharged completely for extended periods, there may be a delay before the charging animation displays on the screen.

Important Information About the Battery

If the battery has not been used for a long period of time, you may not be able to power on your mobile phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes with the phone powered off before attempting to power on the phone. The on-screen charge animation may not be displayed during this period.

Over time, the battery will not hold a charge for as long as it did when it was new. When the battery life becomes noticeably shorter than usual after being charged properly, replace the battery with a new one of the same type.

Using data services increases demand on the battery and will reduce the length of time it can hold a charge.

The time required to charge the battery depends on the environmental temperature and the age of the battery.

When the battery power level is low, the phone plays an alert and displays a prompt. When battery power is almost exhausted, your phone will power off automatically.
