Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery’s power level is
important. If the power level becomes too low,
the phone turns off automatically, and you lose
any unsaved information.
With the approved Li-Ion battery, you can
recharge the battery before it completely runs
down.
Note:
The battery comes partially charged, but
you should fully charge the battery before
using your phone. After the first charge, you
can use the phone while charging.
Connect the charger cable to the Charger/
Accessories port, then plug the Charger
into an electrical outlet.
Battery Capacity
This phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)

icon
displays. If the battery is not
charged, the device turns off automatically.
