Important Information About the
Battery
>If the battery has not been used for a long
time, you may not be able to power on your
mobile phone immediately after you begin
charging the battery. Allow the battery to
charge for a few minutes with the phone
powered off before attempting to power the
phone on.
>As it ages, the battery’s performance will
degrade, in particular it will not hold charge
as it did when it was new. When the battery
life becomes noticeably shorter than usual
after being charged properly, replace the
battery with a new one of the same type.
>Using data services increases the power
consumption of the phone and will therefore
reduce the length of time that the phone can
be used between battery charges.
>The time required to fully charge the battery
depends on the ambient temperature and
the age of the battery.
>When the battery power is low, the phone
will alert you and display a message. When
the battery power is almost exhausted, your
phone will power off automatically.
