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 7.0 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 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 phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
