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.

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/USB 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.

Warning!

Use only approved chargers, batteries and cables. When using unapproved chargers or cables, it may cause battery charging delay or pop up message regarding slow charging. Or, unapproved chargers or cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device, which are not covered by the warranty.

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, we encourage 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

We encourage 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. 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

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.
