Charging your phone

A rechargeable Li-ion battery is used to power your phone. A wall charger, 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 4 hours.

USB Adapter

USB Cable

NOTE

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

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

into the phone’s Charger/Accessory Port. Make sure the USB symbol on the USB cable is facing upwards.

NOTE

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

NOTE

Your phone has an internal antenna (as shown below). 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 brieﬂ y ﬂ ash indicating charging is occurring in a mode designed to prevent battery damage. The blinking will stop and normal charging will commence once a sufﬁ cient minimum charge has been established.

Switching between and exiting applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because open applications keep running even when you open another application. There is no need to quit an application before opening another. Use and switch among several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed, to ensure that idle applications don’t consume battery power unnecessarily.

Switching between applications
