When the battery charge is getting low, the “Battery low. Please
recharge” message is displayed on your screen, and the phone
sounds a warning tone. When the battery has become too weak
to operate your phone, the message “Switching off. Please
recharge” is displayed on your screen.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, and vibrate mode
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 battery, replace the battery, or to access your
phone’s ESN (electronic serial number), you must first remove
the phone’s back cover.
Note: Turn the phone off before removing the phone cover.
To remove the back cover, press the release button, press your
thumb against the thumb grip, and slide the entire back cover
up and over the whip antenna.
To install the battery:
1. Insert the battery at a 45-degree angle with the label side
facing up into the cavity on the back of the phone. The
metal contacts must be aligned with and connected to the
metal prongs.
