charging icon will appear after a few minutes of
charging.
We recommend that you do not

remove
the battery
1. Once the battery and back cover is attached to the
phone, plug the charger connector (supplied with
the phone, in the box) into the charging socket at
the base of the phone (arrow side up), and plug
the other end of the charger to an easily accessible
AC power socket.
2. The battery icon indicates the state of charge:
When charging, the 4 charge indicator bars
change constantly and it normally takes around
2.5* hours to fully recharge the battery (when
charging with the phone switched off, the screen
will display a charging animation).
3. When all 4 bars are steady, the battery is fully
charged and you can disconnect the charger.
Depending on the network and usage conditions,
the maximum talk time of a fully-charged
standard battery goes from 2 to 5 hrs*, while the
maximum stand-by time is about 300 hrs*.
*The data was derived from a test conducted at our
France laboratory when the battery is fully-charged
for the first time. Depending on the network
conditions, user settings, method of use, etc the actual
results may differ.
Getting Started 9
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile phone when
the battery is fully charged will not damage the
battery. The only way to turn off the charger is to
unplug it, so it is advisable to use an easily accessible
AC power socket.
If you do not intend to use your phone for several days,
we recommend that you remove the battery.
You can use the phone while it is charging (note that
the vibra alert goes off when the charger is connected).
If the battery is completely flat, the battery icon will
