1.2 Battery
1.2.1 Installing and Removing your Battery
• To install the battery:
Align the metal connectors of the battery with the battery
terminals. Push the battery in until it locks into place. Put the
battery cover back in place.
• To remove the battery:
Lift the battery cover. Raise the bottom of the battery to
remove it from the mobile phone.
Note: Make sure that the mobile phone has been completely switched off before
removing the battery to avoid possible damages to the SIM card and the mobile
phone.
1.2.2 Charging your Battery
• Plug one end of the charger into the USB/charging port then
plug the other end into a standard AC power outlet.
• Once connected, the battery icon will repeatedly ash at the
top right corner of the screen. If the mobile phone is charging
while powered off, a battery indicator will also appear on the
screen. If the mobile phone has been depleted of battery life,
it will take a while before a charging indicator appears on
screen after it has been plugged to a power source.
• When charging is complete, disconnect the charger from both
the electrical outlet and the mobile phone.
When the battery level icon has stopped ashing, this means that the
battery is fully charged. This process usually takes 3 hours. It is normal
for the mobile phone and charger to become warm during charging.
ATTENTION:
• Charging must be performed in a well-ventilated area with an
ambient temperature of -10°C to +45°C.
• Use only the Starmobile-supplied battery and charger with your
Starmobile DIAMOND V3. Using accessories of other manufacturers
or vendors with your Starmobile DIAMOND V3 may invalidate any
approval or warranty applicable to the device. It may result in
non-operation of the mobile phone or loss of information.

AGoogleAccountletsyouorganizeandaccessyourpersonal
informationfromanycomputerormobiledevice:
• Never lose your contacts again. When you sign in to your
phone with a Google account, all the contacts you associate
with that account in the Contacts application are automati-
cally backed up. As a result, they're always accessible through
your Gmail account from any computer.
• Synchronize and back up everything. Whether you draft
an email, add a phone number, add an event to your
calendar, or take a photo, your work gets backed up
continuously by Google and synchronized with any computer
where you use the same Google Account.
• Access from anywhere. Check your latest calendar, email,
text messages, or social stream wherever you are no matter
what computer or mobile device you're using.
• Keep your information secure and available. Google
works round the clock to protect your personal data from
unauthorized access and to ensure that you get it when you
need it, wherever you need it.
• Use other Google services. Your Google Account also lets
you take full advantage of any other Google apps and
services that you may want to use, such as Gmail, Google
Maps, Navigation, Play Store, YouTube, Google Talk,
Messaging, and many more.
