Charging the battery
You will need to fully charge the battery before
you can switch your Toshiba phone on for the first
time. This may take at least 10 hours.
The battery will only achieve optimum
performance after two or three complete charges.
You can charge your battery in the following two
ways:
• Either plug the AC charger into an AC outlet
and connect it to the charger connector on
your Toshiba phone. When the battery is fully
charged, unplug the AC charger from the AC
outlet and disconnect it from the phone
charger connector by gripping it tightly and
pulling gently,
or
• connect your Toshiba phone to a PC with the
USB cable.
When charging is complete, disconnect the AC
charger from the power source, or the USB cable
from the PC, then disconnect your Toshiba
phone.
The charging time will be typically between two
and five hours, depending on the status of the
phone.
Low battery indicator
When the battery charge level is running low, an
alert tone sounds, and the charging prompt and
low battery icon will be displayed. If the battery
charge level runs too low for normal operation,
your Toshiba phone will automatically switch off.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the battery
while it is charging.
NOTE: The battery will be charged more
quickly using the AC charger.
n
NOTE: The battery life may be improved by
using the AC charger rather than the USB
cable whenever possible.
TIP: To check the status of the battery,
from the Home Screen, select Start >
