GETTING STARTED

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Your phone's battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on, find a signal, and make a few calls. You should fully charge the battery as soon as possible. If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. As you charge your phone, the external screen will show the exact battery level. WARNING! Use only approved chargers and USB cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode. 1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the adapter is

oriented correctly. Do not use force. 2. Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet. If the phone is on,

you'll see a charging icon, such as or , appear in the status bar.

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged. NOTE: If the battery is extremely low, you may be unable to power on the phone even when it is being charged. In this case, try again after charging the phone for at least 20 minutes. Contact customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after prolonged charging.

EXTENDING THE BATTERY LIFE

Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power: ? Reduce the screen backlight time. ? Lower the screen brightness. ? Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. ? Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications using this

function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

POWERING YOUR PHONE ON/OFF

? Press and hold the Power/End Key to turn on your phone. ? To turn it off, press and hold the Power/End Key to open the options menu,

and then select Power off.
