Important information about the battery
• Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifecycle and may eventually need to 
be replaced. If you notice significantly reduced battery life, replace the 
battery.

Getting started 
• If your phone has been running for long periods of time, especially in hot 
environments, heat may be pushed to the surface of the phone. If your 
phone is overheating, cease using it immediately and unplug it from any 
power source to let it cool down. Do not hold on to the phone for too long 
to avoid burn injuries.
• Use the original battery, power adapter, and USB cable to charge your 
phone. Using third-party accessories may reduce your phone performance 
or pose security risks. When your phone is charging, do not operate it or 
cover the phone or power adapter with any object. 
• The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient 
temperature and age of the battery.
• If your phone is very low on power, it plays an alert tone and displays a 
message. If the battery level is extremely low, your phone automatically 
powers off. 
• If the battery power is depleted, you may not be able to power on your 
phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. This is normal. 
Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes before attempting to power 
on your phone.
Powering on or off your phone
• To power on your phone, press and hold the power button. 
• To power off your phone, press and hold the power button to display an 
option menu, and then touch 
Power off > OK.
