WARNING: Use only Kyocera-approved batteries and chargers

with your device. The failure to use a Kyocera­approved battery and charger may increase the risk
that your device will overheat, catch fire, or explode,
resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property
damage.

12 2A. Device Basics

When the battery level drops to 10%, the LED indicator begins
flashing red. When the battery level drops below 5%, the battery
icon changes to and a pop-up window warns you that the
battery is low. When the battery level drops to approximately 1%,
the device shuts down.

Installing the Battery

䊳 See “Setting Up Your Device” on page 2.

Removing the Battery

1. Make sure the device is off so that you do not lose any

stored numbers or messages.

2. Press and hold the back cover latch

with your thumbnail and slide the cover
down with the other thumb to remove
the cover.

3. Lift the battery up and remove it from

the device’s charger/accessory jack
and the other end into an electrical
outlet.

䡲 A solid red indicator light means

䡲 A flashing red indicator light means the battery is low.

䡲 A solid green indicator light means the battery is fully

charged.

With the Kyocera-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the
battery before it becomes completely run down.

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, backlight levels, and Bluetooth and GPS use
all contribute to draining your battery. The following is a list of
helpful tips that can help conserve your battery’s charge:

䢇 Reduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the Backlight

Time Length” and “Changing the Key Backlight Time Length”
on page 34.

䢇 Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. See “Turning Bluetooth On

and Off” on page 71.

䢇 Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On and Off”

on page 90.

䢇 Turn GPS off when not needed. Most applications using this

function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your
current location; each query drains your battery. See “Location
Settings” on page 35.

䢇 Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before

charging your device. Repeated complete discharging and
recharging can reduce the storage capacity of any battery over
time.

䢇 Turn off Automatic application sync. See “Synchronizing

Accounts” on page 35.

䢇 Add a Power Control Widget to your Home screen to deactivate

features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and synchronization
and to reduce the screen’s brightness setting. See “Adding an
Item” on page 17.

䢇 Check running services and close any unnecessary

applications. See “To view and control currently running
services:” on page 44.

WARNING: Do not remove the battery while it is charging. Always

remove the charger from the wall outlet first before
removing the USB cable from the device.

Note: For car kits, enter “0000” or “1234.” If it does not work,

consult the Bluetooth devices documentation.

Due to different specifications and features of other
Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations may be
different, and functions such as transfer or exchange may not
be possible with all Bluetooth-compatible devices.

Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process.
Once a pairing has been created, the devices will continue to
recognize their partnership and exchange information without
having to re-enter a passkey again.

Wi-Fi

About Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a term used for certain types of wireless local area
networks (WLAN). These device types use an 802.11 wireless
specification to transmit and receive wireless data.

Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing and
accessible Wireless Access Point (WAP). These WAPs can either
be open (unsecured) as within most hot spots, or secured
(requiring knowledge of the router name and password).

90 3B. Web and Data Services

Turning Wi-Fi On and Off

Connect.

To manually add your new network connection:

1. Touch Add Wi-Fi network.

2. Enter the Network SSID. This is the name of your Wireless

Access Point.

3. Touch the Security field and select a security option. This
