8 Getting Started
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 240 hours of
continuous digital standby time (17 hours in analog).
The extended battery provides approximately 4.5 hours of
continuous digital talk time (3 hours in analog) or approximately 432
hours of continuous digital standby time (30 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, 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
Your phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install:
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.
2. Press up until the latch snaps into place.
