![](/img.php?id=1092708&img=bgc.png)
3 Push the battery in slightly (1) using protrusion at the lower right hand
corner of the battery, then lift the battery (2) from that same edge to
remove it.
4 Insert the battery with the notched edge first (the edge with the gold

5 Replace the back cover.
Charge the Battery
Your device comes with a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
When you first receive your device, it is important that you fully charge the
battery as described below.
! Only use the charger and battery provided with your device or approved
by T-Mobile, or you risk damaging your device.
! Do not insert battery chargers from previous Sidekick models into the
stereo headset jack.
If you attach your device to your computer via USB, be aware that the
power received may not be enough to charge your device. For example,
when computers are in “sleep” mode, only a trickle charge may be
supplied via USB. In this situation you could lose more power than you
gain. To connect the device to your computer, insert the USB plug into your
device’s USB port with the icon on the top of the plug.

1 Locate the battery charger that came in the box with your device. Insert
the charger’s USB plug into your device’s USB port, which is next to the
power button. Make sure the icon is on the top of the plug.
Now plug the power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet.
An orange charge indicator light will go on and a lightning bolt icon
will appear over the battery icon in the title bar, indicating the charger
is connected and the battery is charging. If your device has discharged
completely, it may take up to 15 minutes before you see any indication
of charging on the screen. When the battery is fully charged, the
indicator turns green. If any error occurs when charging, the indicator
turns red.
2 Put the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least four
hours with the device powered on.
As the device is charging, the bars in the battery icon fill repeatedly
from left to right. When your device is fully charged, the lightning bolt
icon will disappear and the bars will stop moving and remain in the
filled position.
It is recommended that you charge your device nightly. If you plan
to leave it unattended for an extended period of time, be aware that the
battery may discharge within a few days if it is turned on and not attached
to the charger.

combination of letters or characters, such as “12345678”, “222222”,
“abcdefg”.
n For enhanced security, do choose a password that is more than seven
characters long, mixes letters and numerals, and uses upper- and
lower-case letters.
n Passwords are case-sensitive. For example, if you set your password
