3. The handset is fitted with a 2GB microSD memory card
next to the SIM card. This can be expanded up to 32GB.
4. The battery will only fit one way, just check the gold pads on
the battery line up with the gold springs on the phone.
5. Replace the battery cover and press to click into place.

INSERT THE BATTERY AND CHARGER LEAD CAREFULLY

CHARGE YOUR BATTERY
The battery is supplied partially charged. On first use please
charge the battery for 3-4 hours. It is better to keep your
battery topped up than to let it fully discharge.
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.

HOW TO MAXIMISE BATTERY LIFE
• To avoid the battery entering a deep discharged state charge
the battery promptly when flat.
• If the battery is in a deep discharge state 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.
• 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.
• 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.
