increase the risk that your device will overheat,
catch fire or explode, resulting in serious bodily
injury, death or property damage.

Battery Capacity

Your device is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is
fully drained. The battery provides up to 7 hours of
continuous talk time.

Tip: Watch your device’s battery level indicator and charge the

Device Basics

Installing the Battery

䊳 See “Setting Up Your Device” on page 2.

Removing the Battery

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose

any stored numbers or messages.

2. Grasp the device firmly, locate the cover release

latch, and then place your fingernail in the opening
and firmly “pop” the cover off the device.

3. Carefully remove the battery from the device.

18 2A. Device Basics

Charging the Battery

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If
your battery level becomes too low, your device
automatically turns off and you will lose any information
you were just working on.

Note: Although the battery comes partially charged, it is

recommended you fully charge the battery before
using your device for the first time.

1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.

travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your
battery.

䊳 Plug the flat end of the charger into the device’s

charger jack and the other end into an electrical
outlet. The device turns on with the screen locked
and indicates both its charge state and percent of
charge.

Your device is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery. The charger allows you to recharge your
battery before it is fully drained.

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage and
GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The
following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve
your battery power:

Device Basics

2A. Device Basics 19

䢇 Reduce your backlight on time. (See “Changing the

Backlight Time Length” on page 67.)

䢇 Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. (See “Turning

Bluetooth On and Off” on page 129.)

䢇 Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. (See “Turning Wi-Fi

On and Off” on page 154.)

䢇 Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most

applications using this function will periodically query
the GPS satellites for your current location; each
query drains your battery. (See “Activating Location
Mode” on page 176.)

䢇 When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you

have to. (See “Camera Settings” on page 121.)

䢇 When your device seems to slow down due to

background applications (not properly closed or
shutdown), the Task Manager lets you view the
running applications and choose which to close to
conserve the battery. (See “Manage Running
Services” on page 75.)

䢇 Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted

before charging your device. Repeating this process
of a complete discharge and recharge can over time
reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

Creating Shortcuts

Shortcuts are different than the current Home screen
Widgets that only launch an application. Shortcuts
activate a feature, action, or launch an application.

Note: To move a shortcut from one screen to another, delete it

from its current screen, activate the new screen, and
then add the shortcut. Or touch and hold the shortcut
and drag it to the new screen.

Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device
to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones.
Your device and TTY device will connect via a special
cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack.

WARNING: 911 Emergency Calling

Boost recommends that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS),
analog cellular, and landline communications.
Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted
when received by public safety answering points
(PSAPs), rendering some communications
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears
related to software used by PSAPs. This matter
has been brought to the attention of the FCC,
and the wireless industry and the PSAP
community are currently working to resolve this.
