BATTERY INFORMATION
Your phone comes with a partially charged, rechargeable Li -ion battery so that you can use the
phone immediately after it is activated.
Installing the Battery.
To insert the battery into your phone:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover of the phone by sliding it down.
2. Put the battery pack into the battery cradle.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover by sliding it up towards the phone.
4. Charge the battery pack for at least 3 hours prior to using it.
Charging the Battery.
You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged by checking the upper-right
corner of your phone’s display.
When the battery charge level gets low, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking the
battery icon and making audible warning tone. If the battery level gets too low, the phone will
be turned off automatically. When this happens while you were receiving incoming call or
making outgoing call, the call will be automatically disconnected. Watch the battery strength
icon and make sure your battery is adequately charged to avoid such situation.
