Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows
you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
The battery provides up to 3.25 hours of continuous digital talk time
(up to 1.75 hours in analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the low battery icon
appears. When there are approximately five minutes of talk time left,
the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, and vibrate mode affect the

battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip:Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery

before it runs out of power.

Section 2A: Your Phone – The Basics 14

Installing the Battery

To install the LiIon battery:

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone

and gently press down until you hear the battery snap into the
place.

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery:

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and should be charged as
soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery
level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you
will lose all the information you were just working on. For a quick
check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge
indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display
screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the low battery icon
( ) appears and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use an approved travel charger or vehicle power adapter to
charge your battery.

and void the warranty.

Using the Travel Charger

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

connector at the bottom of your phone (with the battery

It takes approximately 3.5 hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the approved LiIon battery, you can recharge
