Charging the battery The phone battery is partly charged when you buy the phone. It may take a few minutes before the battery icon appears on the screen when you connect the phone to a power source. You can still use your phone while it is charging. The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a certain time. This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge status showing a level below 100 percent. 2 1 To charge the phone using the power adapter • Connect the phone to a power outlet using the USB cable and the power adapter. To charge the phone using a computer 1 Connect the phone to a USB port on a computer using the USB cable included in the phone kit. 2 Tap Charge phone. Maximizing battery performance You can use the following methods to improve your battery performance: • Decrease the brightness of the screen. • Charge your phone frequently. The battery lasts longer if you charge it frequently. • If you are in an area with no coverage, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks. This consumes power. If you can't move to an area with better coverage, turn off your phone temporarily. • Turn off 3G, Bluetooth™ wireless technology, and the Wi-Fi™ connection when you do not need these functions.
