Battery Capacity

Phone Basics

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, your phone makes a sound and displays a message. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Note:

Long light settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may affect battery life.

Tip:

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

You can purchase a larger battery with a longer battery life, if needed.

Installing the Battery

To install your battery:

1.Make sure the phone is powered off.

2.Slide the release button back until it releases the battery door.
