Charging the Battery
Before charging the battery, ensure that it has been properly inserted into your phone.

Note:
Use only Cat® approved chargers and cables. Unapproved equipment may cause damage to the
device or cause batteries to explode.
2. Open the USB port cover. Connect the USB cable to the USB port of your phone.
Note:
Be careful not to use excessive force when plugging the USB cable.
Be aware of the correct orientation of the plug. Damage can be caused by attempting to insert the

3. Insert the other end of the cable into the wall charger and insert into an electrical socket.
Note:
The touchscreen may not function correctly if the power source is not stable.
4. When charging is complete, remove the connector from the device and then remove the wall

Note:
Never remove the battery during charging as doing so may cause damage to the device.
Note:

Important Information About the Battery
If the battery has not been used for a long period of time, you may not be able to power on
your mobile phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. Allow the battery to
charge for a few minutes with the phone powered off before attempting to power on the
phone. The on-screen charge animation may not be displayed during this period.
Over time, the battery will not hold a charge for as long as it did when it was new. When the
battery life becomes noticeably shorter than usual after being charged properly, replace the
battery with a new one of the same type.
Using data services increases demand on the battery and will reduce the length of time it can
hold a charge.
The time required to charge the battery depends on the environmental temperature and the
age of the battery.
When the battery power level is low, the phone plays an alert and displays a prompt. When the
battery power is almost exhausted, your phone will power off automatically.

Appendix
Warnings and Precautions
This section contains important information pertaining to the operating instructions of your
device. It also contains information about how to use the device safely. Read this information
carefully before using your device.
Waterproof Casing
USB and Headphone Port covers must be securely in place, and the rear cover properly fitted
and locked to ensure the device will meet this level of protection.
Electronic Device
Power off your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use the device when using the
device causes danger or interference with electronic devices.
Medical Device
Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do not use your
device when using the device is prohibited.
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm be maintained
between a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the pacemaker. If you
are using a pacemaker, use the device on the opposite side of the pacemaker and do not carry
the device in your front pocket.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Power off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and comply with
all signs and instructions. Areas that may have potentially explosive atmospheres include
the areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Triggering
of sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or a fire, resulting in bodily injuries or even
deaths. Do not power on your device at refueling points such as service stations. Comply
with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas,
and chemical plants. In addition, adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations
are in progress. Before using the device, watch out for areas that have potentially explosive
atmospheres that are often, but not always, clearly marked. Such locations include areas below
the deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) whether this device can be safely
used in their vicinity.
Traffic Security
Observe local laws and regulations while using the device. In addition, if using the device while
driving a vehicle, comply with the following guidelines:
Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive safely.
Do not talk on the device while driving. Use hands-free accessories.
When you have to make or answer a call, park the vehicle at the road side before using your
device.
RF signals may affect electronic systems of motor vehicles. For more information, consult the
vehicle manufacturer.
In a motor vehicle, do not place the device over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Otherwise, the device may hurt you owing to the strong force when the air bag inflates.
Do not use your device while flying in an aircraft. Power off your device before boarding an
aircraft. Using wireless devices in an aircraft may cause danger to the operation of the aircraft
and disrupt the wireless telephone network. It may also be considered illegal.

distance of 1.5 cm from your body. Ensure that the device accessories such as a device case
and a device holster are not composed of metal components. Keep your device 1.5 cm away
from your body to meet the requirement earlier mentioned.
On a stormy day with thunder, do not use your device when it is being charged, to prevent any
danger caused by lightning.
When you are on a call, do not touch the antenna. Touching the antenna affects the call quality
and results in increase in power consumption. As a result, the talk time and the standby time
are reduced.
While using the device, observe the local laws and regulations, and respect others’ privacy and
legal rights.
Keep the ambient temperature between 0°C and 40°C while the device is being charged. Keep
the ambient temperature between –10°C to 55°C for using the device powered by a battery.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established requirements for digital
wireless mobile devices to be compatible with hearing aids and other hearing assistive
devices.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless mobile devices
to assist hearing device users find mobile devices that may be compatible with their hearing
devices.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and
hearing loss. If your hearing devices happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be
able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the mobile device with your hearing device is
the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with
a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the
better/ higher of the two ratings. (Note not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
The tested M-Rating and T-Rating for this device (FCC ID: ZL5B15Q) are M3 and T3.
Emergency Call
