Important Information About the Battery

If the battery has not been used for a long 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 the

phone on.

As it ages, the battery’s performance will degrade, in particular, it will not hold charge 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 the power consumption of the phone and will therefore

reduce the length of time that the phone can be used between battery charges.

The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and

the age of the battery.

When the battery power is low, the phone will alert you and display a message. When

the battery power is almost exhausted, your phone will power off automatically.

Power Saving Tips

The longevity of battery power depends on the network to which you connect, and how you

use your mobile phone.

When your mobile phone is not in use, turn off the screen backlight.
