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 uses up a lot of battery power. Also, 
consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme 
temperature make the battery work harder.
Removing the battery
1. Take the back cover off.
2. Pull the battery out.
  
Inserting the battery
1. Take the back cover off.

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.
When the phone is shipped, the battery is already installed on your phone. A thin film is 
inserted between the battery and the compartment. You need to remove this film before 
you can charge the battery.
Only the power adapter and USB sync cable provided with your phone must be used to 
charge the battery.
Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using the power or car 
adapter.
1. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector of your phone.
2. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid orange light. The 
light turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged.
When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging battery icon  
 is displayed in your phone’s status bar. After the battery has been fully charged, 
the charging battery icon turns to a full battery icon  .
