BATTERY INFORMATION
The rechargeable Lithium-polymer battery included in your kit is partially charged so that you
can use the phone immediately once it has been activated.
Attaching the Battery
To attach the battery to your phone:
1. Lineup the metallic contacts on the base of the battery to the base of the phone.
2. Place the battery on the back of the phone, with the top of the battery about a quarter of
an inch from the latch.
3. Gently slide the battery towards the top of the phone until it snaps into place.
Charging the Battery
You can tell whether your battery needs to be recharged or not by checking the upper-right
corner of your phone’s display.
When the battery charge level becomes low, the battery sensor will alert you by blinking the
battery icon and making an audible warning tone. The phone will automatically power itself
off if the battery level becomes critically low, and any incoming or outgoing call will disconnect.
To avoid such disconnection, be mindful of the battery strength indicator and make sure your
battery is sufficiently charged.
Charging with a Travel Charger
Using an unauthorized accessory may be dangerous and will void the warranty if it causes
damage to the phone.
To charge the Battery using a Travel Charger:
- Plug the power cord of the charger into a wall outlet.
- Insert the charger’s connector to the bottom of the phone.
Note) Ensure a proper connection of the charger and the phone. Incomplete connection may
cause damage to the phone.

12
A completely discharged standard sized battery charges full in approximately tbd hours.
