Battery Information
Please read this section in order to understand how to prolong the life of your battery and prevent damage to your phone.
Installing and Removing the Battery
Insert the top of the battery into the recess on the back of the phone. Push inward and upward from the bottom until the locking catch snaps into place. Make sure the battery is secure.

Battery Level Indicator
The Battery Level Indicator tells you how much reserve power remains in your rechargeable battery. It displays 3 levels of reserve power. When the outline flashes, it is time to recharge. Additionally, a tone sounds every 20 seconds as a warning. During fast charging, the entire indicator flashes.
NOTE: Temperature extremes, poor charging/discharging practices, and improper storage reduce battery performance.
Charging the Battery
Make sure your battery is fully charged before using it for the first time. Battery will operate at peak capacity after 3 full charge cycles. Discharge the battery completely between cycles.
To charge your phone's battery, connect the AC rapid charger to the socket at the base of the phone and to a standard 120 volt AC outlet. The Battery Level Indicator flashes.
To prolong the life of your battery, allow it to discharge fully once a week.
A charged battery discharges on its own in about a month of no use. If you do
not plan to use your phone for an extended period (more than a month), remove
the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
