11 Basics
Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original batteries and accessories
that came with your phone or replacements that we recommend.
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your
phone. Among these are the phone features and accessories you use (for example, leaving
your Bluetooth connection always on uses more power). Long phone calls and frequent web
browsing use up much battery. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your
mobile network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.
Removing the battery
1. Remove the bottom cover.
See “Removing the bottom cover.”
2. Open the battery compartment door.
See “Opening the battery compartment door.”
3. Pull out the red battery release to expose the battery, and then pull the battery out.

copper contacts should be on the right when you insert the battery.
4. Push the battery all the way in.
12 Basics
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using your
phone, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after
several full charge/discharge cycles.
Only the power adapter and USB sync cable provided with your phone must be used to
charge the battery.
Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using the power or car
adapter.
1. Attach the power plug to the power adapter.
2. Plug the power adapter into the Charger/USB port of your phone.
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 when the
battery is being charged. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged.
When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging battery icon is
displayed in the status bar or lock screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full
battery icon will be displayed.
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging before it overheats.

Guidelines and preparation for using GPS
To ensure safety on the road, follow these guidelines before and when using your
phone for GPS navigation.
We’ve placed the GPS antenna at the top left corner of your phone’s back
panel. To get the best GPS signal, don’t touch this area when you’re using the
phone’s GPS functions.
GPS
antenna
location
Holding the phone with your left handHolding the phone with your right hand
When using GPS navigation software in the car, always plot your GPS route
before starting to drive. Do not try to configure the GPS navigation software
while driving.
When using the phone inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the phone
securely in place. Avoid placing the phone in the areas shown in the following
diagram:
1 Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.
2 Do not place where air bags could deploy.
3 Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the phone in the holder.
The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with
actual driving behavior.
Use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages resulting
from negligent operation of the system.
Do not leave your phone in a vehicle or expose the phone to direct sunlight to
avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage to the phone or risk
to the vehicle.
68 Maps and location
The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal
reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings,
tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s
visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.
Other nearby wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or
radar-detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in
unstable signal reception.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US
Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy and
maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may
affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.
Downloading satellite positions
Before using your phone for GPS navigation, open the Download Satellites screen
in your phone’s location settings to download current satellite position and timing
information. Downloading this satellite position data significantly speeds up the time
for determining your GPS location. Your phone downloads the position data from Web
servers instead of from satellites using its GPRS/3G Internet connection.
1. From the main Home screen, press OPTIONS, and then tap Settings.
2. Tap Location > Download satellites.
3. Tap Download.
On the Download Satellites screen, initially, you will see the Valid time of the
downloaded data. As time passes, the remaining days and hours of validity will be
shown.
To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest satellite positions when the validity
of the data expires.
Tap Download satellites automatically to update satellite positions automatically on your
phone. This may incur additional data charges.
