Important Information About the Battery
>
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 the 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 than usual after being charged properly,
replace the battery with a new one 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 battery 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.
Power Saving Tips
The longevity of battery power depends on the network to
which you connect, and how you use your mobile phone.
Try the following to conserve battery power:
10
>
When you do not need 3G services, set your phone

to turn off when your phone is idle.
>
