6 Getting StartedCharge the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A
new battery is partially charged and an alarm will warn
you when the battery level is low. If the battery is
empty, it needs to be charged for 2 or 3 minutes
before the battery symbol indicators flash. Plug the
charger into the charger connector at the top left side
of the phone as shown below. Then plug the other
end of the charger into an AC power socket.
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge. The
charge indicators will scroll when the battery is
charging. The battery is fully charged when the charge
indicators stop scrolling. You can then disconnect the
charger.
Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile phone
when the battery is fully charged will not damage the
battery. The only way to disconnect the charger is to
unplug it, so use an easily accessible AC power socket.
If you are not using your phone for a period of time,
we recommend that you remove the battery.
You can use your phone while it is charging. When the
battery is completely discharged, the charge indicators
will appear only after a few minutes of charging.
