Chapter 2 : Basics 15
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 device 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 Maximize the life of the battery for tips on making your battery’s power
last longer.
1 On the right side of your phone, open the charger/microUSB
connector. This is easier to do if you slide the keyboard out first.
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.
NOTE The back cover of your Pre Plus phone is compatible with the
Touchstone
TM
charging dock (sold separately).
Maximize the life of the battery
Battery life depends on how you use your phone. You can maximize the life
of your battery by following a few easy guidelines:
• Set your screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of inactivity
(see Set the interval for turning the screen off automatically).
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
®
Touchstone
TM
charging dock
to your computer.
