Phone Basics
Charging the Battery
Your phone’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon
as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level
becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all
the information you were just working on. For a quick check of your
phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the
upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is
getting too low, the battery icon (
) blinks and the phone sounds a
warning tone.
Always use a Qwest-approved travel charger or vehicle power adapter to
charge your battery.
Using the Travel Charger
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:
ᮣ
Plug the end of the AC adapter into the phone’s power interface
connector and the other end into an electrical outlet.
Ⅲ
An onscreen indicator lets you know that the battery is
charged.
It takes about three hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery.
Warning!
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.
