3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully
charged.
NOTE: If the battery is extremely low, you may
be unable to power on the phone even when it is
being charged. In this case, try again after charging
the phone for at least 10 minutes. Contact customer
service if you still cannot power on the phone after
prolonged charging.
Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi usage, and GPS functionality can drain
your battery. You can follow the helpful tips below to
conserve your battery power.
Reduce the screen backlight time.
Lower the screen brightness.
Turn auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth off when
not in use.
Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most
applications using this function will periodically
query the GPS satellites for your current location;
each query drains your battery.
Powering Your Phone On/O
Press and hold the Power/Lock Key to turn on
your phone.
To turn it off, press and hold the Power/Lock Key
to open the options menu. Tap Power off and then
tap OK.
Restarting the Phone
If the screen freezes or takes too long to respond, try
pressing and holding the Power Key for about 10
seconds to restart the phone.
Setting Up Your Phone for

enter the PIN/password to unlock your screen.
Using the Touch Screen
