charged.

• If the phone is on, the charging icon / is shown on the status bar.

• A pop-up message on screen warns you when the battery is low.

• As you charge your phone, the lock screen displays the battery level.

• It is better to keep your battery topped up than to let it fully discharge.

SHOW BATTERY % LEVEL ON THE NOTIFICATIONS BAR

Go to Settings > Battery > Enable the Battery Percentage check box to display the current charge level on the Notifications bar.

Important Notes for Charging:

Only use the AC charger and USB lead supplied. Insert the charger lead carefully. Check the plug and socket are aligned correctly. Do NOT use excessive force which may damage the USB port. Be careful to avoid tripping on the lead whilst it is plugged in. Physical damage to the USB port is NOT covered by warranty. Normal charge time is 3-4 hours. Do not leave on charge for more than 24hrs. To maximise battery life limit multimedia functions. Charge the battery between 0°C~45°C. Charge the battery promptly when flat. With poor network conditions (less than 2 bars) battery life is reduced. When not using the phone for long periods remove the battery.

TIPS TO MAXIMISE BATTERY LIFE

• After 2-3 charge / discharge cycles the battery life will improve. From then on use top up charging to recharge frequently and always charge promptly when flat.

• To avoid the battery entering a deep discharged state charge the battery promptly when flat.

• If the battery is deeply discharged it can take 30 minutes to start charging. Leave it on charge to recover the battery.

• Keep your handset and battery cool. High temperatures degrade the battery more quickly.

• Normal charge time is 3-4 hours. Do not charge more than 24hrs.

• When not using the phone for long periods charge to approx 40% and

remove the battery.

• With low network signal conditions battery life is reduced.

• Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and set the screen

brightness to automatic to maximise battery life.
