2.2  Important Information About the 
Battery

•  If the battery has not been used for a long time, you may not be able to power on 

your mobile phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. Allow the 
battery to charge for a few minutes with the phone powered off before attempting 
to power the phone on.

•  As it ages, the battery’s performance will degrade, in particular it will not hold charge 

as it did when it was new. When the battery life becomes noticeably shorter than 
usual after being charged properly, replace the battery with a new one of the same 
type.

• Press and hold to power on your mobile phone. 

• Press and hold to open the 

Phone options

 menu.

• Press to lock the screen when your mobile phone is active.

• Touch to return to the previous screen or exit the application you are 

running.

• Touch to hide the keyboard.

Touch to open the menu on an active screen.

• Touch to return to the Home screen.

• Touch and hold to show the most recently used applications.
