Battery care and charging
The battery charge level indicator is shown at the top right of the screen and ranges between four diagonal bars (full charge) to one bar (minimal charge). If the indicator has one blinking bar, the battery has no charge.
Fully charge the battery immediately after purchasing the phone to maximize the talk and standby times. The battery does not need to be completely drained before you recharge it. See Low battery, page 60, for more information.
Follow these guidelines for batteries:
■Only use QUALCOMM batteries and chargers designed for your phone. Do not use any other battery or charger. You cannot overcharge QUALCOMM batteries with QUALCOMM chargers.
■To maximize battery life, set the backlight option to “off” (see Backlight, page 42).
