14 Chapter 2 : Basics
WARNING Use only batteries and chargers that are approved by Palm with your
phone. Failure to use a battery or charger approved by Palm may increase the risk
that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in property damage,
serious bodily injury, or death. Use of unapproved third-party power supply
accessories may damage the phone and void the Limited Warranty for the
product.
Although the battery may come with a sufficient charge to complete the
setup process, we recommend that after setup you charge your phone until
the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen is full to ensure
that the battery is fully charged.
See Maximizing battery life for tips on making your battery’s power last
longer.
1 On the right side of your phone, open the charger/microUSB
connector.
2 Connect the small end of the USB cable to the charger/microUSB
connector.
3 Connect the other end of the USB cable to the AC charger.
4 Plug the AC charger into a working outlet.
Maximizing battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your phone. You can maximize the life
of your battery by following a few easy guidelines:
• Charge your phone whenever you can. Charge it overnight. The battery
has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently than when it
is charged after it is fully drained.
• Set your screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of inactivity
(see Set the interval for turning the screen off automatically).
• Keep your battery away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
Temperatures over 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius) can
permanently reduce the capacity and life span of any lithium-ion battery.
TIP You can also charge your phone battery by connecting your phone to
your computer using the USB cable. Charging this way takes much longer
than using the AC charger. Do not, however, connect the Palm
