Getting Started with Your Phone Battery Temperature Protection Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off. When you turn the phone back on, a message pops up alerting you that the phone was powered off for your safety. Battery Charge Level You can find the battery charge level at the top right corner of the LCD screen. When the charge level becomes low, the battery sensor sounds a warning tone, blinks the battery icon, and displays a warning message. As the charge level approaches empty, the phone automatically switches off without saving any current tasks. Signal Strength Call quality depends on the signal strength in your area. You can tell how much signal strength you have by the number of bars next to the signal strength icon: the more bars, the stronger the signal. If you're having problems with signal quality, move to an open area or, when inside a building, try moving near a window.
