Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it needs
recharging depends on how you use your phone. The features and accessories you
use can affect battery life. For example, leaving your Bluetooth® connection always on
uses more power. Long phone calls and frequent web browsing use up a lot of battery
power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network
and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.
Inserting the battery
Please use only original batteries that came in the box or replacements that we
recommend.
1. Take the back cover off.
2. Insert the battery with its exposed copper contacts into the phone first. The
exposed copper contacts should be on the left when you insert the battery.
Removing the battery

§ Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using the
power or car adapter.
1. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB connector.
2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.
3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid orange light. The
light turns to solid green when the battery is fully charged.
When you charge the battery and the phone is on, the charging battery icon is

battery icon turns to a full battery icon .
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
