2.2.3 Importa nt Informat ion About the Batter y
• If the battery has not been used for a long time, you may not be able to power on
your mobile phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. Allow th e
battery to charge for a few minutes with the phone powered off before attempting
to power the phone on.
• As it ages, the battery’s performance will degrade, in particular it will not hold charge
as it did when it was new. When the battery life becomes noticeably shorter tha n
usual after being charged properly, replace the battery with a new o ne of the same
type.
• Using data services increases the power consumption of the phone and will
therefore reduce the length of time that the phone can be used between bat tery
charges.
• The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature
and the age of the battery.
• When the battery power is low, the phone will alert you and display a message.
When the battery power is almost exhausted, your phone will power off
automatically.
2.2.4 Power Saving Tips
The longevity of battery power depends on the network to wh ich you connect, and
how you use your mobile phone.

• When your mobile phone is not in use, turn off the screen backlight .
• Reduce the time it takes for your screen backlight to turn off when your phone is
idle.
