Caring for the battery

General safety guidelines

•Do not take apart, puncture, or short-circuit the battery.

•If you have not used the battery for more than a month, recharge it before using your phone.

•Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.

•Never dispose of any battery in or near a fire. It could explode.

Common causes of battery drain

•Playing games or using the Web.

•Playing music files.

•Taking pictures and videos with the flash on.

•Keeping backlighting on.

•Operating in digital mode when far away from a base station or cell site.

•Using data cables or accessories.

•Operating when no service is available, or service is available intermittently.

•High earpiece and ringer volume settings.

•Repeating sound, vibration, or lighted alerts.

1xEV-DO

1xEV-DO is a standard for wireless broadband provided by select cell phone carriers.

1xEV-DO is an acronym for Evolution Data Only, and enables download speeds over cell phone networks of up to 2.4Mb per second. 1xEV-DO is considered the first 3G, or third generation wireless standard to be adopted within the US.

What this means for phones that have 1xEV-DO capability is that not only will they be used to make and receive phone calls and text messages, but also will be used to quickly access multimedia content, such as streaming or downloaded audio or video.
