Battery Capacity
Your device is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous digital talk time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are
approximately two minutes of talk time left, the device can sound an audible alert and then turn
off.
Note
: Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and
other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip

Watch your device's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
