You can also use the menu to check for and download updates. Press > Settings > Phone Info > Software Update > Check for Update to

search for and download available updates.

Battery and Charger

Warning: Use only U.S. Cellular-approved or Kyocera-approved batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a USCC-approved or Kyocera-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

After an additional five minutes or so, the phone sounds a warning tone three times and then turns off.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
