Important Information About the Battery
• If the battery has not been used for a long period of 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 on the phone.
• Over time, the battery will not hold a charge for as long 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 demand on the battery and
will reduce the length of time it can hold a charge.

alert and displays a prompt. When battery power is almost
exhausted, your phone will power off automatically.
