Charging the battery
You will need to fully charge the battery before you can switch your Toshiba phone on for the first time. You can charge your battery in the following two ways:
•Either plug the AC charger into an AC outlet and connect it to the charger connector on your Toshiba phone. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the AC charger from the AC outlet and disconnect it from the phone charger connector by gripping it tightly and pulling gently, or
•connect your Toshiba phone to a PC with the USB cable.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the battery while it is charging.
Fully charging the battery may take up to four hours when using the AC charger, or up to eight hours when using the USB cable.
The battery will only achieve optimum performance after two or three complete charges.
When charging is complete, disconnect the AC charger from the power source, or the USB cable from the PC, then disconnect your Toshiba phone.
Low battery
When the battery charge level drops to 20% of its total capacity, an alert message and the low battery icon are displayed.
If the battery charge level runs too low for normal operation, your Toshiba phone will automatically switch off.
Battery information
Battery performance depends on many factors, such as your service provider's network configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the environment in which you operate your Toshiba phone, the features and/or settings you select and use, items attached to your phone's connecting ports, and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.
n NOTE: It is recommended that you save the data in your phone memory to a PC or storage card. The manufacturer is not responsible for data lost or altered due to battery discharge.
