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 MetroPCS 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 touchscreen 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.
