SIM card
The SIM card contains your phone number, service details, and memory for storing
phonebook contacts and/or text messages.

9 Getting started
Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable, non-removable battery. How long the battery can
last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your phone. The features and
accessories you use can affect battery life. For example, leaving your Bluetooth®
connection always on uses more power. Long phone calls and frequent web browsing
use 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.
Charging the battery
Before you turn on and start using your phone, it is recommended that you charge
the battery.
Only the power adapter and USB cable provided in the box must be used to charge
the battery.
1. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB connector.
2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.
3. 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 red light. The light
turns to solid green when the battery is fully charged.
When you charge the battery and the phone is on, the charging battery icon is
displayed in the status bar. After the battery has been fully charged, the charging
battery icon turns to a full battery icon .
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
