Phone Basics
1.3 Charging the Battery
New batteries are not charged when shipped. Before you start using your phone,
you need to install and charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after
several full charge/discharge cycles.
To charge the battery
Plug the USB connector of the AC adapter to the USB connector at the
bottom of your phone.
Plug in the AC adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
Note
Only the AC adapter and USB cable provided with your phone must be used to charge
the battery.
Charging is indicated by a solid amber light in the Notification LED. As the battery
is being charged while the phone is on, the charging battery icon (
) is displayed
in the status bar of the Home screen. After the battery has been fully charged, the
Notification LED shows a solid green light and, if the phone is on, a full battery icon
(
) displays in the status bar of the Home screen.
For more information about the Notification LED, see “Phone Status and
Notifications” in this chapter.
Warning!
• Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it.
• As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
