Removing the back cover

Remove the back cover to access the battery compartment and storage card and SIM card slots.

With the phone switched off, hold your phone securely with the front facing down.

Starting from the small opening at the bottom of the phone, lift the back cover and remove it completely.

Replacing the back cover

Please handle the back cover with care since your phone’s antennas are placed underneath it. Avoid twisting or bending the back cover. To get the best signal for calls, data connection, or GPS navigation, be sure to secure the back cover tightly to the phone.

Align the back cover onto the phone’s top panel.

Press all sides of the back cover towards the phone. You’ll hear clicks when the small tabs underneath the back cover

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

When you take your phone out from the box, make sure to peel off the thin film of the battery that’s inside your phone. Pull the flap of the film to release the battery.

1. Take the back cover off. See “Removing the back cover”.

2. Lift the battery from the groove at the top of the battery

compartment.

Inserting the battery

Setting up your phone for the first time

When you switch on your phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to set up your phone. You can choose your language, how you want to connect to the Internet, and whether you want your current location to be automatically detected.
