1.4 Charging the Battery
New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you start using your phone, it is recommended that you install and charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.
Note Only the AC adapter and USB sync cable provided with your phone must be used to charge the phone. Use of unauthorized AC adapters and USB sync cables can impact the performance of your phone.
Connect the USB connector of the AC adapter to the sync connector on your phone, and then plug in the AC adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
Charging is indicated by a solid amber light on the Notification LED. As the battery is being charged while the phone is on, a charging icon also appears in the title bar of the Home screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full battery icon appears in the title bar of the Home screen.
Warning! ��• Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using the AC or car adapter. • As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging before it overheats.
