Getting Started

Charging the battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery is partially charged and a sound alert will be emitted when the battery level reaches low (if the battery alert is set to On).

Once the battery and battery cover are back in place, you can charge the phone. Plug in the connector as shown below. Then plug the other end into a power socket.

The battery symbol indicates the state of charge. During charging, the charge indicators will scroll if your phone is switched on; it takes about 2.5 hours to fully recharge the battery. When all the scroll bars are steady, the battery is fully charged. You can then disconnect the charger.

Depending on the network and condition of use, talk time goes up to 10 hours and stand-by time up to 1 month.

*Depending on the network conditions, user settings, method of use, etc the actual results may differ.

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 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. If the battery is completely flat, the battery icon will only reappear after a few minutes of charging.
