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 >

More > Settings > More... > Power

Management.
