r540_UG.book Page 3 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:58 AM
Getting Started
Installing and Charging the Battery
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery. It allows you to
recharge your battery before it is fully drained. When the battery is weak and only a
few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and a message repeats at
regular intervals on the display. If this happens, the display dims to conserve the
remaining battery power. When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before
it runs out of power. You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but this
causes the phone to charge more slowly.
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibration mode, playing games,
camera and browser usage affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Important: The battery must be fully charged before you use the phone for the first
time; otherwise, you could damage the battery.
Important: Using a non-supported battery may cause damage to your phone.
When using a non-supported battery, you cannot recharge it. The handset can be
used only for the duration of the factory battery charge, if any.
Installing the Battery
Slide the battery cover down and lift up to remove it.

3. Use your finger to lift the battery (top end first) up and away from the
phone.
Getting Started
Charging the Battery with the Travel Adapter

is full. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the
phone sounds a warning tone.
Getting Started 4
Correct
Incorrect
r540_UG.book Page 5 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:58 AM
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and
void the warranty.

messages.
2. Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a standard 120/220V AC
wall outlet.
3. Insert the end of the adapter into the charger/ accessory connector at
the side of the phone.
Turning Your Phone On and Off
1. Open the phone.
2. To turn your phone on, press and hold the End key until the phone
switches on. Once your phone is on, it displays “Looking for Service”.
When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters Idle mode. At
this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching,
the phone enters Power Save mode and periodically searches for a
signal. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to Idle
mode.
3. To turn your phone off, press and hold the End key until you see
the powering down animation on the display screen.

Memory Card
Your phone allows you to use a Micro SD (Secure Digital) memory card (up to
8GB) and an adapter to expand the phone’s available memory space. This digital
card makes it easy to exchange images, music, and voice data quickly between SDcompatible devices.
Note: Before you can copy files to a memory card from your PC, you must first
insert it into the phone. The phone will format the card for you and create the
necessary file folders. The card is formatted with a FAT32 file system that can be
read by most computers.
Inserting the Micro SD Memory Card
To insert the Micro SD memory card into your phone:
1. Open the memory card access panel located on the bottom left side of
the phone.
2. Position the Micro SD memory card in line with the opening and gently
slide it into place until it is fully inserted and locked.
Note: Be sure to use only recommended memory cards (up to 8GB). Using nonrecommended memory cards could cause data loss or damage your phone.
Note: Make sure your battery is fully charged before using the Micro SD memory
card. Your data may become damaged or unusable if the battery runs out while
reading or writing to the card.
Removing the Micro SD Memory Card
To remove the Micro SD memory card from your phone:
1. Open the memory card access panel located on the bottom left side of
the phone.
15 Your Phone

Warning! DO NOT remove a memory card while files are being accessed or
transferred. It could result in loss or damage of data.

automatically default back to the Phone.
Using a Micro SD Adapter
You can also purchase a Micro SD memory adapter, which allows Micro SD
memory cards to be used in SD-compatible devices. Before using with a reader,
you will need to insert the Micro SD memory card into the Micro SD memory
adapter.
• With the label side of the Micro SD memory card facing up, insert the card
into the Micro SD memory adapter and gently slide the card until it is fully
inserted.
