9

Charging your phone

A rechargeable Li-ion battery is used to power

A wall charger, which is included with your phone,
is used to charge the battery. Ask your T-Mobile

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.

10

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.

them as needed, to ensure that idle applications
don’t consume battery power unnecessarily.

20

IMPORTANT

• Some applications, such as Calendar, work only

plan to use more than one Google Account with
your phone, be sure to sign into the one you
want to use with such applications first. When
you sign in, your Contacts, Gmail messages,
Calendar events, and other information from
these applications and services on the web are
synchronized with your phone. If you don’t sign
into a Google Account during setup, you will
be prompted to sign in or to create a Google
Account the first time you start an application
that requires one, such as Gmail or Play Store.

• If you have an enterprise account through

your company or other organization, your IT
department may have special instructions on
how to sign into that account.

Safety Tips

Consider device compatibility

If you have a pacemaker or hearing aid, check
with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to
use a cell phone. In some cases, cellular radio
frequencies can disrupt the performance of other
electronic equipment. If you have questions about
the interaction between your phone and any other
piece of electronic equipment, ask the equipment
manufacturer.

Drive safely

When you are driving, T-Mobile encourages you
to use your phone in a safe and sensible manner.
Here are a few tips:

• Assess road conditions before answering your

phone. Your safety is more important than any
call.

• Prepare your hands-free headset, if you have

one, or turn on your speakerphone, before you
start moving.

• Keep your phone close. If it rings and you

discover it’s in the back seat, do NOT crawl over
the seat to answer it while driving.

• Pre-program frequently used numbers into your

phone for easy, one-touch dialing.

• Remember that laws prohibiting or restricting

the use of a cell phone while driving may apply
in your area.

Information About
Safeguarding Handsets

T-Mobile encourages customers to take
appropriate measures to secure their handsets
and invites them to take advantage of the features
available on this handset to help secure it from
theft and/or other unauthorized access and
use. This handset has a locking function (e.g.,
user-defined codes or patterns) that can serve
as a first line of defense against unauthorized
use or access to stored information. Preloaded
security applications that allow customers to
track or locate misplaced devices can be found
on several T-Mobile devices. Remote locking and
wiping capabilities are also available to T-Mobile
customers that have elected to subscribe to the
Mobile Security service offered by our partner,
Asurion, along with insurance to help replace lost
or stolen devices. Lost or stolen devices should
be immediately reported to T-Mobile so that proper
measures can be taken to protect accounts. For
additional information, visit: www.t-mobile.com/
devicesecurity and www.t-mobile.com/Company/
PrivacyResources.aspx

Note

Mobile Security is a service provided by Asurion
Mobile Applications and is not an insurance product.

Emergency Dialing

Although all phones are equipped with 9-1-1
emergency calling, this phone may or may not
permit its location to be approximated during a
9-1-1 call.*

* Availability of this feature depends on upgrades
to the (a) wireless network and (b) 9-1-1 calling
system that are required to be installed by the local
9-1-1 response agency or public safety answering
point (PSAP); these upgrades may not be available
everywhere within our wireless coverage area or your
roaming area. This approximation of the phone’s
location and the transmittal of location information are
subject to emergency situations, transmission limits,
network problems/limitations, interconnecting carrier
problems, your phone, buildings/tunnels, signal
strength and atmospheric/topographical conditions,
and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped or
refused. The phone’s approximate location is
transmitted to the local 9-1-1 response agency or
PSAP while the call is in progress; this approximation
is intended solely to aid the PSAP in dispatching
emergency assistance or to limit the search area
for emergency services personnel. You should not
rely solely on a phone for essential communications
(such as a medical or other emergency). Please see
T-Mobile’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy
for additional service restrictions and details.

Caring For Your Phone

Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of
it as a mini-computer. Here are some tips to help
you extend the life of your new device:

Do not get your device wet. Water will damage
your phone and accessories. Even a small amount
of moisture can cause damage.

Protect your phone’s touch screen. Your
phone’s touch screen is delicate. Guard against
scratches by using a screen protector or by
keeping it in a protective case.

Use the original manufacturer’s batteries
and accessories. Non-approved batteries and

accessories can harm you and damage your
phone.

Do not use damaged accessories. Do not
attempt to charge your phone if the charger
has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or is
otherwise damaged; doing so may damage your
phone. If your charger or any other accessory is
damaged, replace it or take it to a qualified service
dealer.
