Replacing Battery: The battery is a consumable item. It needs to be replaced if operating time
shortens noticeably. Purchase a new battery.
Cleaning: Clean soiled terminals between battery and phone with a clean, dry cotton swab. Soiled
terminals can result in a poor connection and prevent charging, etc.

charged. Fully charging a battery may take up to four hours.
4. After charging, disconnect the phone from the charger.

AC adapter.
Note: Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

on the type of connection, your phone’s battery may not charge.
