16 Getting started Charging the battery The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using myTouch 4G Slide, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles. § The battery is already installed in myTouch 4G Slide when shipped. A thin film is inserted between the battery and the compartment. You need to remove this film before you can charge the battery. § Only the power adapter and USB sync cable provided in the box must be used to charge the battery. § Do not remove the battery from myTouch 4G Slide while you are charging it using the power or car adapter. 1. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector. 2. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery. As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid orange light. The light turns to solid green when the battery is fully charged. When you charge the battery and myTouch 4G Slide is on, the charging battery icon is displayed in the status bar. After the battery has been fully charged, the charging battery icon turns to a full battery icon . As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
