Getting Started 9
3. Plug the charger into a standard AC power
outlet. The device turns on with the screen
locked and indicates both its charge state and
percent of charge.
Note: This illustration displays both the correct and incorrect
orientation for connecting the charger. If the charger is
incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory port will
occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
4. When charging is finished, first unplug the
charger’s power plug from the AC wall outlet,
then disconnect the charger’s connector from
the phone.
Important!: If your handset has a touch screen display, please
note that a touch screen responds best to a light
touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic
stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object
when pressing on the touch screen may damage
the tempered glass surface and void the warranty.
For more information, refer to “Standard Limited
Warranty” on page 172.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes
of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and the
“Low battery” message repeats at regular intervals
on the display. In this condition, your phone
conserves its remaining battery power, by dimming
the backlight.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and
GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The
following is a list of helpful tips that can help
conserve your battery power:
• Use the Power Control shortcut bar.
• Reduce your backlight on time.
• Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
• Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
• Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS
satellites for your current location; each query drains your
battery.
