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 5.5 hours of continuous digital talk time (2.5 hours in
analog) or up to 168 hours of continuous digital standby time (33
hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the low battery icon
appears. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left,
the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, Ready Link
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.
Installing the Battery
To install the LiIon battery:
1. Place the battery into the space beneath
the antenna with the metal contacts at
the bottom, facing downward.
2. Gently press down until it’s in place and
the battery release latch snaps.
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you
don’t lose any stored numbers or
messages.
2. Push the battery release latch up and
hold the battery.
3. Pull the battery up and out at a 45-degree
angle.
