Low battery indicator

You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged by checking the

battery indicator (this icon is located in the upper-right corner of the display screen). The presence of all three bars indicate a full charge. No bars (the battery icon is empty) means your battery must be charged.

The empty battery icon

Two to three minutes before the battery charge level gets too low to operate the phone, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking an empty battery icon

( ), and sounding a tone. If you continue to operate the phone without charging the battery, the phone will automatically turn off. If this happens, your wireless call will be terminated. Be sure to monitor the battery strength icon and make certain your battery is adequately charged.
