Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. The standard battery provides up to 3.0 hours of continuous digital talk time and the extended battery provides up to 4.1 hours of continuous digital talk time.

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and browser use affect the battery talk and standby times.

Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

1.To install, insert the battery into the bottom of the phone at a 45-degree angle, making sure to line up the tabs.

2.Gently press down the top of the battery until it snaps into place.
