Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable) are included with the device for charging the battery.

Note:

The battery comes partially charged. You must fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time. After the first charge, you can use the device while charging.

Warning!

Use only approved charging devices. Approved accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

Getting Started 6

Battery Indicator

The Battery icon in the Status Bar shows the battery power level. When battery power is 15% or less, your device prompts you to charge the battery. If you continue to operate the device without charging, the device powers off. For battery use information, see “About Device” on page 155.

Tip:

Touch the Time field to display battery charge status.

1. Insert the USB cable into the Charging Head.

Charging the Battery

Your device comes with a Wall/USB Charger (Outlet Connector, Charging Head, and USB cable) to charge your device from any standard AC power outlet.

Note:

The battery comes partially charged. You must fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time. After the first charge, you can use the device while charging.

2. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/

Accessory Port.

3. Plug the Charging Head into a standard AC power

outlet.

Warning!

While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not function due to an unstable power supply, unplug the USB power adapter from the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the device.

4. When charging is complete, unplug the Charging Head

from the power outlet and remove the USB cable from the device.

Installing the SIM Card

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, available optional services, and many others features.



Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as shown) until the card locks into place. The illustration shows the screen facing up.

•

Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face downward and that the notched corner of the card goes in first.

Important!

The plug-in SIM card information and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.

Note:

If the card is not inserted correctly, the device will not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected.
