Battery information
Charging and Discharging
Your device contains a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When
the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery. Use only TECHFAITH approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with
TECHFAITH approved chargers designated for this device. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave a fully
charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made. Use the
battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur
when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal
strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the
battery or the connecting object. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily,
even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please
recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

14
Battery life estimates (approximations):
•Standby time:
GSM: 220 –260 hours
•Talk time (Screen off):
GSM:5 –8 hours
Checking the battery power
•On the Today screen, Tap Start > Settings > Power (on the System tab)
•Tap the battery level icon on the Today screen
Warning
To reduce risk of fire or burns:
•Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the battery pack.
•Do not crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water.
•Do not expose to temperatures above 60˚C (140˚F).
•Replace only with the battery pack designated for this product.
•Recycle or dispose of used battery as stipulated by local regulation.
Charging the battery
New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you can use your device, you need to install and charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after
several full charge/discharge cycles. You can charge the battery by:
•Connecting your device directly to an external power source.
•Plugging the device sync cable into the USB port on your PC.

15
Optimizing the power performance
How long your battery power lasts depends on battery type and how you use your device.
Try the following to help preserve battery life:
•Tap > Settings > System tab > Power. On the Advanced tab, you can specify when your device turns off to conserve battery power. For optimum
conservation, specify 3 minutes or less.
•Use the AC adapter to plug your device into external power whenever possible, especially when using a Micro-SD card or when using a modem or other
peripherals.
•Adjust the backlight settings.
Set the backlight to dim after a time delay
If your device supports it, you can set the backlight to dim after a specific amount of time has elapsed.
1Tap > Settings > System tab > Backlight.
2Tap the Battery power tab or the External power tab.
3Select the Turn off backlight if device is not used for check box, and specify the time delay.

16
Dealing with low battery
In case that the battery is running out, you are supposed to:
•Charge the battery using the AC adapter, especially when you are using a Micro-SD card, modem, or other peripherals.
•Save all unsaved data if necessary
•Power off your device
