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.
Basics 29
Inserting the battery
Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the
battery compartment. Then gently push the battery into place.
30 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. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector of your phone.
2. 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 red
light. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged.
Basics 31
When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging
battery icon ( ) is displayed in your phone’s status bar. After the
battery has been fully charged, the charging battery icon turns to a
full battery icon ( ).
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
Removing the battery
