Basics
Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original batteries and accessories
that came with your phone or replacements that we recommend.
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your
phone. Among these are the phone features and accessories you use (for example, leaving
your Bluetooth connection always on uses more power). Long phone calls and frequent web
browsing use up much battery power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from
your mobile network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.
Inserting the battery
1. Remove the back cover. See “Removing the back cover.”
2. Insert the battery with its exposed copper contacts into the phone first—make sure
that the ribbon strip extends out of the battery case to make it easy to remove the
battery!
The exposed copper contacts should be on the left when you insert the battery.
3. Gently push the battery into place.
Removing the battery
1. Make sure the phone is turned off.
2. Take the back cover off. See “Removing the back cover.”
3. Pull the ribbon strip upward to release the battery.

Basics
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using your
phone, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after
several full charge/discharge cycles.
.
To charge the battery, please use only the power adapter and USB cable that come with your phone.
. Don’t remove the battery from the phone while you’re charging it with the power or car adapter.
1. Connect the large end of the USB cable to the power adapter.
2. Connect the small end of the USB cable to the phone.
3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
Your phone may turn on when the battery is being charged.
As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid red light when the
battery is being charged. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged.

displayed in the status bar of the Start screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full
