Battery Use
The following topics explain how to insert and remove your phone’s battery.
Battery Cautions
Storage: Avoid storing or leaving battery with no charge remaining. Saved information and settings
may become lost or changed, or battery may become unusable. Charge once every six months
before storing or leaving unused for a long period.
Bulges: Depending on use, bulges may appear near end of battery life. This does not affect safety.
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.

Set Up Your Phone 9
Charge the Battery
Your phone is equipped with a Li-Ion battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully
drained. The battery provides up to 25 hours of continuous digital talk time.
You can charge your phone’s battery using either the included AC adapter or via a USB connection with
your computer.
Charge Using the AC Adapter
1. Plug the USB cable into the charger/accessory port at the bottom of your phone.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the AC adapter.
3. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
The indicator light illuminates when charging starts. The light goes off when the battery is fully
charged. Fully charging a battery may take up to four hours.
4. After charging, disconnect the phone from the charger.
Unplug the AC adapter from the outlet, and remove the USB cable from the phone and the
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.
Charge Using a PC Connection
Before using a PC connection to charge your phone, ensure that the computer is turned on. Depending
on the type of connection, your phone’s battery may not charge.

Set Up Your Phone 10
1. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the charger/accessory port at the bottom of your phone.
2. Insert the large end of the USB cable into an external USB port on your computer.
3. After charging, remove the USB cable from both the phone and the computer.
