Charging your phone

A rechargeable Li-ion battery is used to power your phone. A USB Adapter, which is included with your phone, is used to charge the battery. Ask your T-Mobile sales representative for further details regarding approved batteries and chargers.

Before using your phone for the first time, make sure the battery is fully charged. An uncharged battery will fully recharge after 3 hours.

USB Adapter

USB Cable

NOTE

Make sure the battery is installed before connecting the USB Adapter. If the battery is not installed and the USB Adapter is connected, the phone will not operate properly due to prolonged power cycling. Also, removing the battery with the USB Adapter connected may damage the device. Please unplug the USB Adapter before removing the battery.

Warning!

If the touch screen does not function while the phone is in the process of charging, it may be due to an unstable power supply. As a result, disconnect the USB cable from the device or unplug the USB Adapter from the power outlet.

1 Connect the USB Adapter and USB cable (as shown on

the previous page).

2 Plug the USB cable (as shown on the next image) into the

phone’s Charger/Accessory Port.

NOTE

The battery must be fully charged initially to improve battery lifetime.

NOTE

Your phone has an internal antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage this rear area, as that will cause loss of performance. When charging your phone with a fully discharged battery, the keypad LED will briefly flash indicating charging is occurring in a mode designed to prevent battery damage. The blinking will stop and normal charging will commence once a sufficient minimum charge has been established.
