Charge the battery
Follow these guidelines to optimize your 
battery’s performance.
1With your phone turned off, connect 
the lead from the charger to the bottom 
of the phone. Connect the charger to an 
AC wall outlet. 
The battery indicator bar appears on the 
screen and starts to scroll from bottom to top 
after a few seconds. It will remain constant 
when the phone is fully charged.
2Disconnect the charger from the phone and 
AC outlet when the battery is fully charged. 
After the indicator bar stops scrolling, you can 
leave the charger connected and the battery 
will accept a “trickle charge” to maintain a 
fully charged battery. See “Reference information” on page 129 for more 
information on batteries. 
Note: Charge the new battery for three hours before using. Use the 
battery until it is fully discharged. You should do this for a total of 
three charging cycles. After the first charge, you can make and 
receive calls during the charging cycle, but the calls interrupt the 
charge. When a call ends, the charge will resume. The charging 
time depends on the charger and battery you use.
