Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows
you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery
provides up to 3.2 hours of continuous digital talk time (1.4 hours in
analog) or up to 216 hours of continuous digital standby time (15
hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks.
When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the
phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Installing the Battery
To install the LiIon battery:
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone at
an angle, making sure the plastic tab on the bottom of the
battery is inserted into the matching slot in the phone.
2. Press down until the battery snaps into place.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip:
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
