Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A
new battery is partially charged and an alarm will warn
you when the battery reaches low. If the battery is
completely flat, it will take 2 or 3 minutes of charging
for its icon to reappear.
You may lose all your personal settings if you remove
the battery when the phone is switched on.

on one end, then plug it into a main AC power
socket with easy access on the other end.
2.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge:
- during charging, the 4 charge indicators scroll;
it takes around 2 hours to fully recharge your
mobile phone.
- when all 4 bars are steady the battery is fully
charged: disconnect the charger.
Depending on the network and condition of use, talk
time goes from 2 to 4 hrs and 40 min. and stand-by
time from 200 to 560 hrs.
Keeping the charger connected to the mobile when the
battery is fully charged doesn’t damage the battery.
