Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity

battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully

the battery is exposed, and many other factors.
The battery provides the following approximate maximum
usage times:
When the battery charge is getting low, the “Battery low. Please
recharge” message is displayed on your screen, and the phone
sounds a warning tone. When the battery has become too weak to
operate your phone, the message “Switching off. Please recharge” is
displayed on your screen.
