1.2 About the USIM/SIM Card and Battery

Always turn off your Ameo before installing/replacing the battery and USIM/SIM card. Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install a 3G USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) or a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card provided by your local network service provider and to install the battery. The USIM/SIM card contains your phone number, service details, and phonebook/message memory. Your Ameo supports both 1.8V and 3V USIM/SIM cards. Some legacy SIM cards will not function with your Ameo. You should consult with your service provider for a replacement SIM card. There may be fees for this service. Your Ameo contains a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Ameo is designed to use only manufacturer-specified original batteries and accessories. Battery performance depends on many factors, including T-Mobile’s network configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the environment in which you operate your Ameo, the features and/or settings you select and use, items attached to connecting ports, and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns. Battery life estimates (approximations):



Standby time: Up to 300 hours for GSM Up to 300 hours for UMTS



Talk time (Screen off): Up to 5.5 hours for GSM Up to 4.5 hours for UMTS

Warning! To reduce risk of fire or burns:



Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the battery pack.



Do not crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water.



Do not expose to temperatures above 60oC (140oF).



Replace only with the battery pack designated for this product.



Recycle or dispose of used battery as stipulated by local regulation.

To check the battery power

Do one of the following:



Tap the battery level icon ( ) on the Today screen.



Alternatively, tap Start > Settings > Systems tab > Power.
