Phone Basics
Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your phone 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
three 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 phone sounds an
audible alert and then powers down.
Warning! Use only Qwest-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and
chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Qwest-approved or
manufacturer-approved battery and charger may increase the risk
that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in
serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, Bluetooth,
and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
