Installing and Charging the Battery

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery. It allows you to
recharge your battery before it is fully drained. When the battery is weak and only a
few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and a message repeats at
regular intervals on the display. If this happens, the display dims to conserve the
remaining battery power. When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
Be sure to watch your phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before
it runs out of power. You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but this
causes the phone to charge more slowly.
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibration mode, playing games,
camera and browser usage affect the battery's talk and standby times.
Important: The battery must be fully charged before you use the phone for the first
time; otherwise, you could damage the battery.
Important: Using a non-supported battery may cause damage to your phone.
When using a non-supported battery, you cannot recharge it. The handset can be
used only for the duration of the factory battery charge, if any.
Installing the Battery
Slide the battery cover down and lift up to remove it.
