10 Getting Started

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is
charging).

Using the Battery

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a standard Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows
you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The standard battery
provides approximately 3 hours of continuous digital talk time (1.5 hours in
analog) or approximately 216 hours of continuous digital standby time (15
hours in analog).
The extended battery provides approximately 4 hours of continuous digital
talk time (2 hours in analog) or approximately 288 hours of continuous digital
standby time (20 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.

Note:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, camera usage

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

1.

Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone,
making sure the plastic tab on the back is inserted into the
matching slot in the phone.

Press up until the latch snaps into place.
