11 Section 1: Getting Started
1.3 Battery Information
Your device contains a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery. Your
device is designed to use only manufacturer-specified original
batteries and accessories. Battery performance depends on
many factors, including your wireless service provider’s network
configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the environment
in which you operate your device, the features and/or settings you
select and use, items attached to your device’s connecting ports,
and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.
Battery life estimates:
Talk-time: 2.5 – 5 hours
Warning: To reduce risk of fire or burns,
do not disassemble, crush, puncture,
short external contacts, heat above
60
o C (140 o F), or dispose of in fire or
water. Replace only with manufacturer
specified batteries. Recycle or dispose
of used batteries according to the local
regulations.
Install and Charge the Battery
New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you can use
your device, you need to install and charge the battery. To install
the battery, slide the battery cover off, and then insert the battery
by aligning the exposed copper part of the battery pack with the
protruding copper conductor. Then, gently push the battery into
place and replace the battery cover.
Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge
cycles. The time needed to fully charge the battery is less than 4
hours. You can charge the battery by:
Connecting your device directly to an external power source.
Plugging the device sync cable into the USB port on your PC.
