How to keep your battery in top shape
If the battery has not been used for a long period of time, you may not be able to power on your mobile phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. The icon as shown in the following figure is displayed on the screen.
Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes with the phone powered off. When the charging animotion is displayed on the screen, power the phone on.
Using data services increases demand for electrical power and will hence the stand-by and talk time of the device.
The time required to charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and the age of the battery. We recommend you to charge at room temperature (20°C–22°C).
When the battery is low, the phone plays an alert and displays a message. When the battery power charge is almost drained, your phone will power off automatically.
The battery undergoes aging which results in a decrease of the capacity with time. This will be noticeable by some incremental reduction of the stand-by and talk time of the device. In order to revert to the original stand-by and talk time it is recommended to replace the battery with a new one of the same type.
