phone.

Get Started 1

the phone, and gently press the battery into place.

 Replace the battery compartment cover, making sure all the tabs are secure and

there are no gaps around the cover.

2. Plug the USB cable into the USB Charger/Accessory port on the bottom of the phone.

3. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the Charging Head, and then plug the Charging
Head into an electrical outlet to charge your battery.

service, it is designed to activate automatically.

 When you turn the phone on for the first time, you should see a Hands Free

Activation screen, which may be followed by software updates. Follow the onscreen

instructions to continue.

number on your account (you’re swapping phones), you can activate on your computer
online or directly on your phone.
