How to keep your battery in top shape
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. The icon as shown in the following
figure is displayed on the screen.
Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes with the phone
powered off. When the charging animotion is displayed on the
screen, power the phone on.
Using data services increases demand for electrical power and will
hence the stand-by and talk time of the device.
The time required to charge the battery depends on the ambient
temperature and the age of the battery. We recommend you to
charge at room temperature (20°C–22°C).
When the battery is low, the phone plays an alert and displays a
message. When the battery power charge is almost drained, your
phone will power off automatically.
The battery undergoes aging which results in a decrease of the
capacity with time. This will be noticeable by some incremental
reduction of the stand-by and talk time of the device. In order to
revert to the original stand-by and talk time it is recommended to
replace the battery with a new one of the same type.

We recommend you to not replace the battery by yourself. Instead
any Huawei or a Huawei authorized service provider will be happy
to offer a battery replacement to you. In case you choose to
replace the battery by yourself, please refer to .
Battery saving advice
The stand-by and talk time also depends on the network that you
connect to, and how you use your mobile phone.
Try the following to conserve battery power:
When you do not need 3G services, set your phone to connect to

networks.

off the screen.
Reduce the time until the display illumination goes off when in idle
mode: on the Home screen, touch > Settings > Display >
Screen timeout.
Lower the display brightness: on the Home screen, touch >
Settings > Display > Brightness.
Use the AC adapter to plug your phone into an external power
source whenever possible.
Turn Bluetooth off when you’re not using it. Only make your phone
visible to other Bluetooth devices when you need to establish a
Bluetooth connection: on the Home screen, touch > Settings
> Wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings.
Switch off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it: on the Home screen,
touch > Settings > Wireless & networks > WiFi settings.
Turn off your phone connection to GPS satellites when you’re not
using it: on the Home screen, touch > Settings > Location &
security, and then clear the Use GPS satellites check box.
