Charging the battery
The phone battery is partly charged when you buy it.
• Charge your phone often. 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 cannot move to an area with better
coverage, turn off your phone temporarily.
• Turn off 3G, Bluetooth™ wireless technology and Wi-
Fi™ when you do not need these functions.
