recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 5
hours of continuous digital talk time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there
are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the device can sound an audible
alert and then turn off.
Note
Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and other
variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip
Watch your device's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
