Using Your Phone's Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows
you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery
provides up to 3 hours of continuous digital talk time or
approximately 8 days of continuous digital standby 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.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,
playing games, or 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.
Installing or Removing the Battery
To install or remove the LiIon battery:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don't lose any stored
numbers or messages.
2. Remove the cover plate by pushing on the thumb tab (1)
and sliding the cover plate away from the handset (2).
